Here’s another reason why all farmers should be on social media (see previous blog post). To actively counter misinformation, and share quotes. Lynne Bradshaw, National President of the RSPCA, spoke at the LiveExchange conference in Townsville last Friday. The talk was in the form of an interview by Landline presenter, Pip Courtney. These are some […]

RSPCA’s Lynne Bradshaw, at the LiveExchange Conference in Townsville
November 3rd, 2013Australian National Park Management and Conservation
October 28th, 2013Apparently the Queensland LNP are continuing property purchase talks with the owners of 3 cattle stations in far South-West Queensland, for yet more millions. Several questions are immediately obvious: Where is the money coming from to purchase these cattle stations. Some of it wouldn’t be from taxes paid by remaining cattle station owners, by any […]
The truth about Australian animal welfare
June 5th, 2013There’s a few questions arising from the Weekly Times article re the withdrawal of Animal’s Australia’s ‘Make it possible’ fundraising bags from Coles supermarkets: What does Animals Australia’s Lyn White mean by her threat ‘we’re about to push hard on the accelerator’. More illegally installed surveillance cameras, like the one found at the piggery near Young (NSW), followed […]
Steele Rudd – Arthur Hoey Davis
March 13th, 2013I believe Arthur Hoey Davis (pen name “Steele Rudd”) is by far and away Australia’s best ever writer, due to the originality and relevance of his stories and characters, combined with his great writing ability. Only heard of ‘his’ Dad & Dave jokes? (Actually written [very badly] by others…much to Steele Rudd’s dismay). Do your […]
#Peasenhallpigs – A tide of change against the noisy minority
March 10th, 2013Peasenhall Primary School in Suffolk, UK, has developed a scheme to educate students about where their meat comes from by raising pigs. Fairly predictably, there has been an abusive outcry from vegans/animal rights extremists. Organisers received 400+ derogatory emails, calling them ‘child abusers’, ‘pointless mothers’ etc. Nothing especially unusual about any of the vitriol, unfortunately. […]
Meat Free Monday Propaganda
December 29th, 2012Do you know who is associated with the latest push to ‘reduce’ Australian meat eating – ‘Do Something’/ Foodwise ‘Meat Free Mondays’? No? The funny thing is I doubt the high-profile Australians supporting it really do either. Or if they do know it’s Animals Australia who are driving the campaign, they’re blind to the dark […]
Farmer & grazier advertising industry stereotypes
November 21st, 2012The Weekly Times newspaper is running a Poll gauging opinion on whether the latest dairy farmer bogan-stereotype Devondale ads should be ditched. Unfortunately over the years farmers of all kinds have been portrayed by the Australian advertising industry as straw-chewing hicksvilleans. It’s invariably a reflection of the lack of education (on the practical front), intelligence […]
McLeod’s Daughters ‘Drover’s Run’ accommodation open to the public
August 8th, 2012The popularity of the ‘McLeod’s Daughters’ telemovie in 1996 resulted in the long-running and highly successful television series produced by Channel 9. Written by Sydney resident Posie Graeme-Evans, filming the ‘McLeod’s Daughters’ television series commenced in 2001 and continued until 2008 – 223 episodes over 8 series. McLeod’s Daughters has now been screened in 41 […]
