Greens food policy

You will never see from the Greens “Canberrans love their cars. We can see that every morning and afternoon rush hour.”

Oh Lord, ‘food miles’, ‘seasonal produce’, every fallacious cliche in the book.

What do they think we would all be eating if we relied on ACT produce throughout winter? Turnips do tend to pall after a while.

And, for $1.7m, they could throw a slap-up barbie and buffet open to all, which would do a lot more for local food producers and sellers than more bureaucracy, plus putting a smile on the collective dial of voters.

The Greens – Getting It Wrong Every Time.

You could just allow producers and customers to sort it out for themselves, we stock local as much as possible. We managed to set up two shops that support local producers and enable customers to find local produce. It cost the Gov Zero. we have never applied for or recieved any gov funding or support.

Not to mention that the Greens with this “endorse local, minimal food kilometres” policy are cutting ACT region food producers off at the pass regarding food exports to other regions. They can’t have it both ways! They are doing a huge disservice here to local growers and the ACT economy.

Mmmm. Roundtables, plans, strategies, leaflets & flyers.

Move along folks, nothin’ to see here!
