How would One Nation restore Australian farming—explained in the 60 seconds the Nationals have allocated me? It's easy: end the net zero madness. Net zero is a policy of the Liberals, the Nationals, the Labor Party, the Greens and the teals, each committed to destroying farming through a death of a thousand regulatory cuts, strangling farmers with restrictions on water use, on-farm chemicals and fertilisers and even their soil. This is strangling the life out of rural Australia in the name of reducing carbon dioxide, which fertilises the very food these net zero ideologues eat.
Net zero really means net zero food, net zero clothes, net zero freedom and net zero travel. We've been told by the UN and the World Economic Forum that food will be produced in near-urban intensive food-manufacturing facilities producing cultured laboratory meat, forced greens with no cell structure and bug protein. Allow Australian farmers to once again feed and clothe the world. It's time to end government by ideology.
