G’day folks! Welcome back to Off The Land.In this episode we break down the latest rain across NSW — the BOM called for below average again, but Tamworth has already smashed 50.6mm with more on the way. Another miss by the Bureau, thankfully.We also celebrate a big win for Victorian farmers: Greg Baldwin from Gre Gre had his charges dropped after standing up to the government over transmission lines on his property.Then we get stuck into Albo’s Capital Gains Tax changes — why many farmers are calling it a Death Tax by stealth and how it could cost families hundreds of thousands (or millions) when handing farms to the next generation.We cover the ongoing fuel and fertiliser crisis that’s forcing farmers to cut back planting, and finish on a positive note with Linda Widdup — 2026 Victorian Local Hero and founder of Aussie Hay Runners — and her incredible volunteer network helping farmers through tough times.Straight talk from the farm gate.

Albanese promised dozens of times – “My word is my bond” – that negative gearing and capital gains tax changes were off the table. Then the budget hit. In this episode I break down what the changes really mean for renters, young buyers, mum & dad investors, and why this could lead to corporate-owned housing ghettos. Plus a roundup of other broken promises on power bills, immigration, transparency and more. Honest chat from rural Australia.

In this hard-hitting episode of Off The Land Podcast, we expose the growing Water Wars in Australia as farmers battle the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) and the controversial Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

Episode 5 takes a deep dive into the devastating impact of water buybacks, strict water allocations, and heavy-handed water management policies that are leaving once-productive farms barren and drought-ridden. Australian farmers in the Murray-Darling Basin are facing an existential crisis as their water rights are increasingly restricted, threatening their livelihoods, regional communities, and Australia’s food security.

We discuss how the $13 billion Murray-Darling Basin Plan has failed many irrigation communities, caused massive environmental and economic damage, and sparked widespread anger across rural Australia — from the Riverina to the Victorian border and beyond. Is the Murray-Darling Basin Authority overreaching? Are farmers’ property rights and water entitlements being slowly stripped away? And why do so many feel their fundamental right to water is being abridged?

This episode covers the real stories from the land: dried-up rivers, cracked earth on family farms, dying rural towns, and the growing fight for water rights in Australia. We explore the tension between environmental goals and the survival of Australian agriculture, and ask the tough questions about government bureaucracy versus the people who actually grow our food.

"Shall Not Be Abridged" — when water becomes the new battleground, Australian farmers refuse to go down without a fight.

If you care about Australian farming, food security, property rights, rural Australia, or the future of agriculture in this country, this is an episode you cannot miss.

Off the Land — Ep. 4: Reckless Renewables — An Affected Farmer’s PerspectiveIn this episode I share our firsthand experience with a proposed high-voltage transmission corridor through our farm and the toll the renewables rollout can take on rural landholders. From a single envelope pegged to our cattle grid to compulsory-acquisition threats, misleading compensation, bungled consultation, and the risk of massive decommissioning bills — this is the local context those shiny brochures don’t show. I walk through the meetings, the broken promises, the numbers, and why we finally breathed a sigh of relief when the route was moved — but only so another community could face the same fight.If you value on‑the‑ground perspective on energy projects, watch the video for the receipts (emails, brochures, maps) and decide: greater good or mansplain to the countryside?

Sick of being pissed on and told it's raining? In Episode 3 of Off The Land we say enough is enough.

We don't care that you're offended. We don't want to change our culture anymore. Australia is a Christian country with its own way of life — not a third-world shithole. Why are we bending over backwards while borders leak, NDIS fraud runs rampant, fuel excise money disappears, and politicians like Peyman push their own agendas?

We break down the fuel price rort, government waste (hello $25 million flagpole), suicidal empathy, triplicated departments, and why it's time for Australia First representatives.

Plus some good news from the land: Northern NSW grain growers are celebrating a bumper harvest around Walgett with strong yields feeding the nation.

Raw, unfiltered Aussie farming & straight talk from the paddock. No apologies. No SJW nonsense.

Drop your government fraud stories in the comments — I'll look into them.

Australia’s own government modelling shows that to hit net zero, we’re on track to lock up **18 million hectares** of farmland into carbon sequestration projects by 2050.

That’s three times the size of Tasmania.

In this episode of Off The Land, I break down what this actually means for farmers, food production, regional communities, and the future of real agriculture in Australia.

From ABARES reports to the reality on the ground — are we sacrificing productive land for green targets that deliver little real climate benefit? Who really profits from this? And what happens to Australian food security when prime agricultural country gets turned into carbon sinks?

If you care about farming, food, and the Australian bush — this one matters.

Drop a comment: Should farmers be forced into carbon projects, or is this a voluntary choice that’s turning into a land grab?
