At the Wangaratta show today @helenhainesindi called on the Government to protect #OurCommonGround and develop a strategy for Australian agriculture in a hotter, drier, more extreme climate. On Monday, we take the push to Parliament. 
@helenhainesindi The latest projections, released by @CSIRO last week, show by 2030s, the Ovens-Murray region of NE Vic will be up to 1.9 C hotter than it was in the 1990s.
I was born in 1991, so Victoria will have warmed almost 2 degrees in the time it takes me to turn 40.

Aus has a plan to grow ag from $60b now to $100b by 2030. We won't get there without a plan
We face stark choices. Inaction can't be one of them.
