Stop Net Zero destroying our environment and jobs.
“Australian forestry company Midway has unveiled a $350m deal with MEAG, a subsidiary of insurance giant Munich Re, which will see the pair dramatically expand Midway's forestry operations.
The transaction is one of the first to capitalise on a recent update to Australia's Emissions Reduction Fund method of dealing with plantation forestry, which will provide more opportunities for the industry to earn carbon credits.

“Driving around the gravel back roads of Corangamite Shire, councillor Jamie Vogels surveys the landscape where once-green, cattle-grazing pastures have been sprayed and cut into uniform windrows ready for blue gum seedlings.
Cr Vogels points out a nearby property, now bare of grass and cleared of farming infrastructure; fences, troughs, shelter belts and tracks, with all the flammable material put into a pile.
"They're burning that at the moment so they can plant their blue gums," Cr Vogels said.
Previously, the farms being turned into plantations had accommodated local farming families and sometimes supported additional families who worked as milkers and labourers, and Cr Vogels said the land use change was causing a significant loss of community members.”

This is just another example of the net zero madness whereby taxpayers fund foreign companies such as Munich Re to destroy Australian industry.
The major parties who support this stupidity need to go.
Www.peoplefirstparty.au will end this madness.
