Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) statement: In response to Victoria’s
The VFF acknowledges the Victorian Government announcement that it has reached an in-principle agreement on Australia’s first Treaty.
The below is attributed to VFF President, Brett Hosking:
“The introduction of this legislation today will be the first time it’s been seen by many stakeholders.”
“It is critical that such a significant piece of policy and legislation is considered through an open and transparent consultation process as it moves through Parliament.”
“Farmers and regional communities must form part of this consultation, and we look forward to engaging constructively to achieve the right result.”
“The government said themselves that these policies work best when people affected can have their say. This must be the way forward on this process.”
