Yesterday’s FWC wage decision was a masterclass in the political magician's trick. While media, business and unions argued over the "4.75% pay rise" smokescreen, the legal wage floor for a school-leaver was quietly forced up to an experienced operator level, by phasing out the 2 entry-level awards that were put there to help get inexperienced youth into their first job. With businesses now forced to pay the exact same hourly rate for zero experience versus 5 years of experience, with rising unemployment and pressure on businesses, they will choose experience every single time. Youth unemployment is already up from 8.5% to 11% under Labor. Add in underemployment, and one in four of our kids is now struggling to find work. Denying school leavers their start in a worsening labour market is creating a pathway for long term youth unemployment, and a high risk for soul destroying lifetime welfare dependency. By pulling away the bottom 2 rungs of the ladder, this tone-deaf government isn't protecting young workers—they are sentencing many of them to welfare queues before they've even picked up a tool. Quite the opposite of generational equity isn't it?

Pics of the photographer. Spent most of yesterday with a photographer putting together a short reel for #LambEx as I’m on a panel there. Of course it was foggy and dull all day

Lots of impressive vegetation coming up on our ponded area. Banks combined with controlled grazing can really kick start the land, makes the most of rainfall

If you go into hospital as an alcoholic, they don't put a bottle of vodka on your bedside table and titrate the dose. They remove the alcohol. If you go into hospital as a heroin addict, they don't hand you a syringe with the meal tray. They remove the heroin. If you go into hospital as a smoker, they don't wheel you outside every two hours for a cigarette break. They remove the cigarettes. If you go into hospital as a type 2 diabetic, they bring you white toast, cornflakes, fruit juice, a jam sachet, and a sweetened yoghurt. Then inject insulin to manage the blood sugar response. Then write in your notes that your diabetes is "poorly controlled." Every other addiction is treated by removing the substance. The one driven by carbohydrate is treated by serving the substance and medicating the response. Have a think about why.

@AngusJosie When we have compliance and inventory mgmt systems inflicted on us that no other biz would put up with, it so isn’t OK. My attitude There are some smart ppl involved, the brief should be: an inventory mgmt system, traceability system that will respect producer time & $$.

Thoughts are with Neale Daniher’s family & being a family of 11 there are many. My SIL is a cousin so I feel connected, as I have done while he’s publicly battled the beast. What I reckon I learnt how lucky we are, grab life with both hands and his parting words - Play On

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism. One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled. The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy. Meanwhile, in Cheshire. A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain. She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco. To recap. 600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water. Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food. The shopper picks the almond. She has been told this is the ethical position. The aquifer would like a word.

@ScottperkoScott @Jeremy_Morton_ @AlboMP I’m hearing you. Pollies wouldn’t be smart enough to be farmers anyway. I don’t hear them talk about reducing spending on non productive areas, or streamlining compliance.

The bit that people miss is how feed budgeting is needed to make that work on the ground. To balance the requirements against what’s available out in the paddock, so cows are fully fed, fodder not wasted, reach production targets & utilise what you have out there efficiently.

Travelling down the Loddon Hwy to Bendigo, the thought that crosses my mind: “I bet these farmers wish they were in far western NSW where there is oodles of green feed”
