My question is to the Minister representing the Minster for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Minister Watt. There are thousands of farmers rallying at Parliament House today, devastated by years of the Labor government's anti-farming agenda, which, over the last two years, has scrapped live sheep exports and the ag visa; slapped farmers with a fresh food tax, a truckie tax, a ute tax, and a superannuation tax on family farms; forced water buybacks; caused ballooning electricity bills; and cut or delayed regional infrastructure funding. How will the Albanese Labor government policies do anything other than punish regional Australia and the farmers who feed our nation while further driving up the cost of living for all Australian families?
