If you're feeling a bit lost, I'd encourage you to re-read the thread.
That's what I have been doing - I appreciate the input from Al, who gives me, a city person, the insights I need to form a strong enough opinion. I admit Ag policy has never been a strong suit. I'm getting there.
The two issues Al brings up are first up in my head. I also have no experience of seeing union-organised farmers. But, as been brought up, if you're self employed it gets a bit unnecessary, unless we're talking about farm workers, not farm owners. There's also the difference between small-scale local farming and huge industrial farms in workforce, management etc Otherwise, it would be a lobbying shop, more than anything else.
In relation to section 4 - I don't agree that it's pure pork, but it's definitely very, very close. Also don't like debate that has TBD when talking about funding. How much are we talking about here, I'm happy to enable more support for those areas, but equally, I'd want to know how much.
