Australians headed to the polls over the weekend to cast their vote in the 2025 #FederalElection with the Australian Labor Party and Prime Minister the Hon Anthony Albanese now confirmed to return to government.Queensland agriculture’s message to all levels of government remains clear: the food and agriculture sector requires strategic focus. From #foodsecurity to regional development, from #water management to workforce and #energy reform – these are national issues, and they require strong agricultural policy at their core.Queensland has played a key role in this election. This election followed an incredibly challenging period for Queenslanders, who have faced three major flood events to date this year. Communities across the north, south-east and south-west have been focused on recovery and rebuilding, and for many, responding to immediate community needs understandably took precedence over the last few months.Despite this, the of importance of #Queenslandagriculture gained traction during the campaign on a number of fronts. These included bipartisan commitments to develop a national food security plan – an important step towards recognising food production as a national priority, investment in the mental health of farming communities, and support for improved on-farm safety initiatives.While these commitments are welcome, there are key issues still requiring urgent collective action at both the state and federal level.Many of Queensland’s farmers operate small businesses and are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate continually changing labour laws. Reform in this area must be a priority if we are serious about ensuring a sustainable agriculture sector.The future success of Queensland agriculture depends on long-term investment and coordinated planning in regional housing, roads, and digital connectivity – essential foundations for thriving regional economies to support the agriculture sector.Read more 👉https://bit.ly/42PMshn ...
