Today we have Senator Susan McDonald to give us her take on the current Foot & Mouth Disease situation and how the Agricultural Industry can help tackle the problem politically.  

Susan grew up on her family’s cattle property near Cloncurry in far north QLD. She studied and worked in the accounting industry before purchasing a chain of butcher shops in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and ran them for 6 years before deciding to take the plunge into politics. 

Susan was elected to the Australian Senate for Queensland and is now the Shadow Minister for Resources and for Northern Australia, and the chairman of the Federal Government’s Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport committee.
