August 28, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

A repeated claim that farmers in drought-stricken western Queensland have been banned from pushing mulga to feed stock has been shot down by the State Government.<\/p>\n

Natural Resources Minister Anthony Lynham assured Queensland farmers on Tuesday they can still push mulga to feed stock.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s disappointing that this myth continues to circulate, and I\u2019ve even called the Federal Minister (David Littleproud) this morning to clear this up with him,” Mr Lynham said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the LNP, graziers could harvest up to 50 per cent of the regulated mulga on their property in a 10-year period.<\/p>\n

“This has not changed.”<\/p>\n

Dr Lynham said the facts were:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Fodder harvesting is still self-assessable (as it was under the LNP)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • It is still free to notify to harvest under what\u2019s now known as an acceptable development code (online or by hard copy form)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u201cI call on everyone to stop causing unnecessary angst in our rural communities,\u2019 Dr Lynham said.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe Palaszczuk Government is backing farmers and drought-affected communities.<\/p>\n

      “It\u2019s time for all levels of government to focus on the main game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
