Federal Agriculture Minister Senator Bridget McKenzie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Legislation to impose tough new farm trespass laws was passed by both Houses of Federal Parliament on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Attorney-General Christian Porter and Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie said the successful passage of the Criminal Code Amendment (Agricultural Protection) Bill was an important safety measure for Australian farmers.<\/p>\n

The Bill\u00a0establishes the new offences of incitement of trespass, property damage, or theft on agricultural land.<\/p>\n

Wood processing facilities are also covered by the Bill.<\/p>\n

Minister McKenzie said the Bill reflected the Australian community\u2019s expectations that farmers and their families should be safe from harassment in their businesses and their homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Bill criminalises the action of publishing material, via a carriage service, with the intention of inciting trespass, property damage or theft on agricultural land,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sends a clear message to animal activists that if you use the personal information of family farmers to incite trespass then you will be risking imprisonment of up to five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen protests become acts of trespass and theft, you\u2019re not a protester, you\u2019re a criminal and deserve to be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
