A Queensland cattle station has been handed the first ever Environment Protection Order under the Albanese Government’s new environment laws.
No finding. No court. The investigation isn’t even finished.
But the Minister couldn’t wait. He was straight onto Facebook with a celebratory “BREAKING” post.
Shut you down first. Ask questions later. That’s the new rulebook for farmers.
And this station was already in the firing line. Activists had defaced its front gates with “koala killer”. A bulldozer was allegedly set on fire.
It’s part of a bigger push. In August, activist groups ran ads in South Korea, one of our biggest beef markets, telling buyers Aussie beef is killing the Great Barrier Reef. Two weeks later, two official reports showed improving water quality and rebounding coral cover.
Activists make the noise. Government brings the hammer. Farmers pay the price.
They started with sheep. Now it’s cattle stations. Your farm could be next.
Stand with farming families.
