Several hundred farmers have gathered outside state parliament in Brisbane this morning to express their opposition to tree clearing laws to be introduced by the Labor government.
Accompanied by signs reading ‘Annastacia please listen’ and ‘I am a farmer these laws affect me’, the farmers used the opportunity as a last minute effort to kill off the changes.
This will be the second attempt to introduce clearing restrictions which was to overturn the LNP’s loosening of tree clearing laws - after failing to to get them through a hung parliament in 2016.
