Based on a worldwide farming population of 934 million, this means approximately 46% of farmers are being #poisoned every year.

I can’t say I wasn’t aware of the greenwashing that’s going on on the back of the fuel tax credit (FTC) scheme, but it doesn’t hurt keeping up to date with the rorts purpetrated by our mining and extracting industry giants. This tax-payer funded rort, just keeps getting better and better despite the revelations in independent media. Not that our #Labor govt is inclined to stamp it out apparently. Seems like we can do both, meet our paultry emission targets AND pay big poluters to, well… polute some more. How inane is that. This is govt taking the rest of us for #numpties. This BS can’t be allowed to go on. We need #AlboPM to end the FTC schemes at least for big business if he’s not gutsy enough to cut the #Farmers out as well.

“The analysis by Naru Research found the top 18 FTC scheme recipients, mostly multinational iron ore mining and coal companies, collectively received $3.3 billion in credits but only faced an estimated $150 million in compliance costs under the Safeguard Mechanism.

“Australia’s biggest industrial greenhouse gas emitters are being paid to pollute,” stated researcher Tim Baxter.”

Koala habitat logged by farmers. Will they be charged under the new environment laws?

"Carte blanche" for bulldozing endangered ecosystems?

"The Australian Conservation Foundation has identified a dozen cases of land clearing since December that should have sought environmental approval."

"The ACF has found, via satellite imagery, a dozen cases in Queensland and NSW of old bushland containing endangered habitats being cleared without any of the necessary referrals for approval."

"The maximum penalty for breaches of the EPBC Act is up to $1.565 million for individuals and up to $15.65 million for corporate breaches." >>

Unfortunately for #consumers of US meat & poultry, that resistance isn't confined to veterinary #diseases.

#GoodShepherd pushes for increase in #MainersFeedingMainers program at state house

By Sierra Whaley
Published: May 13, 2025 at 5:17 PM EDT

AUGUSTA, Maine (WABI) - "Federal cuts have impacted funding for #HungerRelief programs across the state.

"That’s why state representatives gathered at the state house to push for the passage of a bill that could strengthen a 15-year-partnership between the state and Good Shepherd to keep reliable sources alive in this uncertain time.

" 'As our costs are going up and as our funding is going down as we’ve experienced funding cancellations federally, we are looking for a more cost share model with the state and asking for increased state support,' said Heather Paquette, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank.

"The Good Shepherd Food Bank is Maine’s only #FeedingAmerica food bank distributing food from Fort Kent to Kittery.

"They’re urging lawmakers to pass #LD415 sponsored by North Yarmouth Rep. Annie Graham.

"It’s a bill to increase the state’s support for the Mainers feeding Mainers program through Good Shepherd.

"Here’s how it works.

" 'We purchase fresh local produce from 93 farmers throughout the state of Maine from Fort Kent to Kittery and those farmers deliver that fresh produce directly to our pantry partners which serve them to neighbors experiencing food insecurity in the state of Maine,' said Paquette.

"According to Feeding America nearly 200-thousand Mainers are experiencing hunger.

"That includes over 50,000 children.

"Which is why the increase would provide more security for state sources, such as #farmers, to keep those community partnerships active.

"If passed the bill would increase the funding from one million to two million dollars."
