The people who feed and power Australia are being strangled by red tape, a senior agribusiness leader warns, urging sweeping structural reform to save the bush, writes Adam Giles.
Anthony Albanese has recruited an army of bureaucrats dedicated to red tape and enforcement while going slow on deploying artificial intelligence despite flatlining productivity, as the Labor government dramatically increases the number of permanent public service staff.
The Northern Territory is poised at the edge of a resources boom but the opportunity will pass by without dedicated efforts to make it happen, according to industry leaders.
Things We Love features the charming stories and authentic recipes from outback Australians and those working in the agricultural industry. It speaks to a culture of cattlemen and women who take pride in working as a team, sharing food and celebrating the wealth and history of knowledge enmeshed in their own unique regions of Australia.
This book richly captures the spirit of these pioneering men and women’s lives and those who work on the land today.
