Animal rights activists have stormed a farm while filming. GideonCRozner: ‘Laws here were broken ... It could meet the definition of common law assault here. Not a single charge has been laid, what are the police doing here?’ MORE: pmlive
FULL INTERVIEW: Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has condemned animal rights charity Aussie Farms for releasing a map of Australian farm locations, which they say will force the agricultural industry to be more transparent.
Mr Joyce told Sky News it incites people, who have the motives to create problems, to go to those places, harass farmers and invade private property. He says the situation reflects a clear double standard where the private lives of farmers can be exposed, but if agricultural worker made the same move against activists, they would be painted as the ‘most evil people on Earth.’
