DAIRY FARMERS JUST WANT A FAIR GO & A FAIR DAY’S PAY FOR A FAIR DAY’S WORK
The Tasmanian Greens today joined with other political parties to support the State’s dairy farmers and their families at the rally held in Devonport.
Greens Leader Nick McKim MP said that National Foods is behaving unfairly, immorally and are abusing their market power.
“The ACCC needs to step in and sort out National Foods having effective control of the bulk of Tasmania’s domestic fresh milk market,” Mr McKim said.
“No-one is looking for a hand out, no-one is asking for special treatment, we are just looking for a fair go and fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work for our farmers.”
“This is a fight that must be won, and if we stay united and stay strong not only can we win, but we will win.”
“National Foods is a corporate bully which puts profits before people, and greed before fairness.”
