GINA WARNS OF SOARING FOOD COSTS, SHORTAGES UNDER NET ZERO POLICY

Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart has hit out at the costly impact of a “net zero” policy on farmers, warning of high food prices, food shortages and an exodus of farmers if the Federal Government doesn’t change its direction. She urged economic gains from regional areas be returned to communities and net-zero ambitions abandoned for farmers. Mrs Rinehart said the mining industry would be able to afford the transition to net zero but other sectors, including agriculture would face a tougher time meeting requirements.

Gina Rinehart’s bold vision for Australia’s future as she warns the country could face food shortages if nothing is done

She sent her strongest message about the expensive bill farmers were facing to meet zero emission CO2 targets. Her Hancock Agriculture business runs 14 farm properties in Western Australia with 12,000 head of Wagyu beef cattle, one of the largest herds in the country. ‘Agriculture usually doesn’t have the financial resources that the mining industry has and this is a big thing we I think we are overlooking,’ she said. ‘It just doesn’t have the resources – unless of course you’ve got, you know, a mining company in your back pocket. ‘You’ve actually got to add up the expense of these net-zero policies on farmers. ‘Just look at acquiring electric vehicles alone,’ she added. ‘Be they for lawn mowers motorbikes utes, four wheel drives, tractors, harvesters, trucks, bulldozers, graders, front end loaders. ‘It’s going to cost a fortune that farmers and pastoralists don’t have without a mining company in the back pocket. They just don’t have this money to be able to invest.’
