We don't want to be in Canberra protesting, but if that's what it takes to get the attention , that's what we have to do.
"This is also a warning to potential future governments that Australian farmers had a gutful of not being listened to, and whoever's in the seat of power needs to make sure that we are the key stakeholder when it comes to agricultural issues or regional communities, because we are the backbone of those economies," he said.
