Today is the National Day of Action as farmers stand united against the Biosecurity Protection Levy. We're urging the Federal Government to #ScraptheTax . Join us at 10.30am today at #Beef2024 with our President David Jochinke & AgForce Queensland President @GeorgieSomerse at AgForce stand.
Australia’s farmers are being taxed $50m to fund biosecurity activities with no details of how this money will be collected or spent.
#ScraptheTax ! Vote no to this flawed, rushed policy
Australian farmers already contribute millions to biosecurity through existing levies & on-farm management. But this is not recognised. Say No to the Biosecurity Levy! Share the message to senators #Scrapthetax #keepfarmersfarming #Biosecurity

Australian farmers already contribute billions to biosecurity through existing ag levies and on-farm management. The proposed Biosecurity Protection Levy doesn't recognise these efforts. #ScraptheTax #KeepFarmersFarming
Taxing farmers to make life cheaper for importers is straight up bonkers.
🚮 It’s time to #ScrapTheTax .

⚠️Attention all producers! Did you know from July 1 the Federal Government wants to charge you a new tax? The Biosecurity Protection Levy is fraught with issues and we are calling on the Senate to vote NO! It’s time to #ScraptheTax and #KeepFarmersFarming . Share this tile and tag
Today’s paper sets the scene for why the govt needs to #ScraptheTax and #KeepFarmersFarming
The strong voices standing against this new levy/tax also poses a genuine political risk that needs to be considered, given this vocal opposition won’t disappear after July 1.

LABOR’S BIOSECURITY TAX NOT BACKED BY FARMERS OR ANYONE ELSE grainproducers.com.au/post/labor-s-b…
Farmers across Aus already do their part to protect our land from pests & diseases. They shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of the Biosecurity Protection Levy on top of everything else!
Stand with us as we demand sensible solutions. #ScraptheTax #KeepFarmersFarming
🚨 The proposed Biosecurity Protection Levy is an unfair tax burdening nearly all 85,000 Australian farmers starting July 1, 2024. Livestock SA opposes it. Senators, #ScrapTheTax and find fairer solutions to protect agriculture. #KeepFarmersFarming
