Australian farmers are extremely angry about the proposed 10 per cent biosecurity tax being imposed by the Federal government.
And there's a multitude of reasons why so many farmers - not just grain producers - are fighting so hard against this deeply flawed, unfair proposal and calling for it to be urgently reversed.
GPA is now calling on all producers to get behind our new campaign to reverse this biosecurity tax, alongside other representative groups who share this anger, frustration and serious concerns about unintended consequences.
Individual producers can write to their local MPs and the minister, to reinforce their clear opposition to the proposal, and call for its immediate reversal.
A Fighting Fund has also been set up to help strengthen the voice of producers with vital campaign resources including economic analysis that can actually demonstrate how much producers already pay - grainproducers.com.au/biosecurity/scrapthetax/
