Grower ridicules Gillard's 'foodbowl of Asia' ideas

A fruit grower is using 50 tonnes of rotting fruit as an example to politicians that in the coming election food production needs to be a priority.

Peter Hall, from Mooroopna, west of Shepparton, has left the rotting apricots on his trees because there's no market for him to sell to.

He says he doesn't want a handout, but says if politicians want his vote, they need to take notice of issues like anti-dumping laws, the high Australian dollar and holding foreign imports to the same chemical standards as local fruit.

"I was really mystified by Julia Gillard's comments a few months ago saying she wanted to make Australia the food bowl of Asia," he said.

"Walk into the supermarket shelves in Shepparton, you'll find a tonne of imported canned fruit on the shelves.

"Forget about Asia and supplying that as a foodbowl. We can't even be the foodbowl of Shepparton."

As the Globalist Lib / Lab traitors embrace Asian trade, in particular China as a preferred market place for clean, safe Australian produce, we notice an ever increased dumping of toxic food products in Australia.

 

Australian consumers should be very concerned of the health effects of this sub standard junk, in particular Cancers. China has over 100 farming villages considered "cancer villages", due to the industrial pollution, cadmium, heavy metals, sewage and agricultural waste used to irrigate their farms, many farmers won't even eat it themselves !

Where are the Environmentalists, FSANZ (  Food Standards Australia New Zealand ), DAFF ??

There was a time in Australia when the Human Rights Lobby would be screaming from the roof tops about us doing business with Human Rights abusers, sweat shops etc. All those concerns seem a thing of the past, when we notice all the fish from Thailand in our shops, much of it coming from companies that use slave labour, where people are drugged to work harder, lucky to get paid at all and murdered if they resist.

We purchase no end of Chinese junk, Christmas lights that start fires, many other poorly made items that fall apart almost immediately, much of it made in slave labour camps and most frightening Chinese food products.

It seems like our current political leaders have conveniently forgotten all about these issues, turned their backs on Australian farmers and the Australian consumer.

 

We must say NO to a Chinese Trade Centre in the Riverina, we have more than enough Chinese junk already filling our shops and it is becoming increasingly harder to avoid buying it, without a one stop "all you can dump" Trade Centre.

 

We need to look after the future of Australians, which means we must support Australian farmers and protect Australian farmlands from the en mass Imperialist poaching of Australian farms we currently see. These Imperialists are acquiring Australian farms for their own countries needs, Australian's need to realise the food grown on these farms will not be available to Australians, we will be in a situation where we will have no other choice but further toxic imports.

This is all a very well organised con of the people and many folk are receiving a very handsome salary to be part of this agenda.

 

Friends, vote for Australia First Party, as a vote for anyone else is a waste of time !
