Vision for Australia’s prime focus is the long term future of our country. It’s proactive and driven by grandchildren.
Politics has become the business of focusing short term problems. It's become largely reactionary and seems driven by the polls of the day.

Agriculture was once this country’s greatest industry. Today, the big bucks are in mining and consequently, it’s the miners who dictate the terms to Canberra. The major problem with this is the government is making short term, profit driven decisions at the expense of the long term future of Australian agriculture. A typical coal-seam gas well has a lifespan of one generation (5-15 years) years but it leaves behind degraded soil and a contaminated water table which may not recover in 20 generations. Every Australian needs to ask “Is the risk of mining of coal-seam gas and oil really worth the cost of damaging the soil and contaminating the water table?” Politicians are making short term decisions at the expense of the long term future of Australia. Prioritising gas over water and oil before soil must stop. Join the conversation here or come over to Facebook and share your thoughts.
