The National Fire Ant Eradication Program (NFAEP) being administered by the Queensland Department of Primary Industries, is having a devastating impact on many people and businesses throughout South East Queensland.
This film reveals the impact it is having on just one sector, the hay farmers in the Lockyer Valley. It also calls on the Minister for Primary Industries, Tony Perrett, to take action to support the farmers.
The life of an Australian farmer is challenging at the best of times. However for hay farmers in the Lockyer Valley, a key challenge they are now facing is not fire ant invasion of their properties, but rather dealing with the government body formed to ‘eradicate’ the ants, the NFAEP.
Please support our farmers by watching and sharing the film and joining the call for action to the Minister elected to serve the people, who is in a position to address the challenges being faced by these farmers; challenges which are destroying lives and livelihoods.
