 Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Foresty
After exactly one year in the job, Tony Burke, the Rudd Government Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Foresty, will be speaking to Farm Writers on November 28.
Mr Burke has many issues on his plate of interest to Farm Writers: the Government’s response to the inquiry into the social impact of drought; the Cutler Review’s musings on Rural R&D; the Government’s response to Roger Beale’s review of Australia’s quarantine and biosecurity arrangements; where agriculture fits in the Government’s climate change policy and how the new wheat export arrangements will pan out are just a few.
