It's a story about 'not what ya know, it's who ya know'
Last week Minister for NAIF @mattjcan & @mlandryMP announced NAIF (Nth Aust Infrastructure Fund) had approved a loan for Blair & Josie Angus from Signature Onfarm P/L

They like to rub shoulders with lots of LNP politicians
Back in Sept 2017 they hosted @mattjcan @mlandryMP @senbmckenzie Fiona Nash & a QLD MP to discuss plans for their abattoir
Lucky that, just happened to be soon after the NAIF was established
They're fighting the QLD Govt over #reefregs, that's legislation that is trying to help save the Great Barrier Reef
Seems the Angus's don't like being told what to do & don't believe in climate change.
Angus's & Green Shirts have hitched their wagon to climate change sceptic Peter Ridd, he was sacked by James Cook Uni

Josie Angus posted on Facebook about Jack Berne who started Five for a Farmer, even said "How good is Scott Morrison?"~she's a fan!
But who needs a fiver when you can get $25mill?
He's an interesting character, also goes by the name Efrem Lloyd, he lives in Mexico even though he regularly writes for The Oz & was sued over a dodgy business deal
So, the Angus's have hooked up with climate science deniers to support their case against the QLD Govt Great Barrier Reef regulations

It's all about jobs & export $$
200 during construction (starts next mth)
70 once it's up & running from Jan 2021
That's why they need the 'on-farm village'
Now that doesn't sound to me like Clermont locals will be commuting the 60kms to Sondella
Sounds like a camp for TSS workers!
People on the Gold Coast commute to Brisbane each day, about 70-100kms each way
Same with commuters from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane
Same thing in Sydney or Melbourne
So, why the need for an 'on-farm village'?
It's abt the Angus's & $$$ not local jobs
