NEW AGRICULTURE BILL IN VICTORIA GIVES THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF FOOD PRODUCTION AND ABOLISHES PROPERTY RIGHTS It grants its agents enormous powers and allows them to show up and enter any farm in the State, without notice or warrant. The government can take samples from your property, remove plants or livestock – even kill them. Beekeepers now being forced to ‘register’, while the State’s bees are to be implanted with tiny micro-chips so they can be tracked. The Bill threatens the country’s food security, particularly when viewed in the context of global food shortages, which we are told are just around the corner. Sheep farmers in Ireland have been told that a million sheep must be culled in order to meet the government’s internationally-set emissions target. This means the government can also enter private homes, seize owners’ pets – even kill them - and destroy any vegetables gardens or domestic chickens it finds. And you still think Food Security is just another freedom campaign? Think again.
