We received an Instagram message from Melissa Smith who asked why farmers are never included in the discussion about climate change, when they’re a key part of the country’s net-zero emissions ambitions.

 

We invited Mel onto the Briefing to pose the question herself, and then invited Adam Coffey from Coffey Cattle - a beef producer from Miriam Vale, halfway between Rockhampton and Bundaberg to explain exactly what farmers are doing…..and they’re doing a stack.

 

The politicians supposedly representing farmers want producers left out of the net-zero equation. But producers themselves tell a much different story.
