And now it looks like our grain delivery chains are going to the US Multinational Archer Daniels Midland so we won't even have control on the grain elevators and rail infrastructure to sell our own produce.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

And very soon we and the rest of the major grain producers are not going to own their grain, Monsanto and others will be the ones that call the shots and have our food in their hands.

If "We" didn't buy them "we" wouldn't have a problem. But "We" (all of us) do. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
Its the same issue with what's happening to Holden and Ford (and what happened to Mitsubishi), manufacturing in general, imported fruit, teabags (Yes, read the packet), whatever. Everyone likes a cheap buy but expects everyone else to buy with the Country's Best Interests at heart.........
FYI I'm no different but at least I acknowledge it

"We" have mines, manufacturing, even Banks in the US, Africa and Asia but I don't here anyone hear (in Aus) worrying about the $$ we take out of their countries to bring back here..........
Again, I'm just stating what people here choose to not acknowledge.

SupporterIncisor there will never be a 'level playing field' in this country.
Unfortunately successive governments here seem to have it in mind that other countries give a stuff about us. Our governments keep trouping around the world setting up 'free trade agreements' without any demands on those so called 'partners' to allow our products into their markets without impedance. Sick of hearing about how 'we have to act fairly' in world trade when it seems to be only us playing the fair hand.

Level playing field= Us at the bottom of a 100ft cliff throwing tennis balls over the top,,,,,,,rest of world at the top of said 100ft cliff dropping 100kg rocks............................................. .....
