Property rights’ most passionate campaigner Peter Spencer will be in Dubbo this Sunday following a meeting with NSW Farmers’ Association and the Regional Community Survival Group in Tottenham on Friday which he tips “is going to be a hot party”.
Mr Spencer went on a 52-day hunger strike to bring attention to property issues and on Sunday, at Dubbo RSL, from 12.30pm discuss the Federal Government’s Kyoto Protocol arrangements.
“This is the biggest land grab affecting white people in the history of Australia,” Mr Spencer said.
Mr Spencer said the lock up of 109 million hectares of Australian farmland has offset the energy sector’s blown out of 88.2 million metric tonnes since 1980. The reductions in broad-scale land clearing undertaken by farmers was largely driven by controls implemented by state governments to protect biodiversity.
“Effectively, the Federal Government has got the State Government to lock up land through native vegetation laws so they can benefit,” Mr Spencer said.
He said the Government had taken control over landowners’ rights and no Australian property was any longer considered safe.
“What’s to stop them now from coming into your home, taking out your furniture and saying you can use the kitchen but the rest of your house is going to be there town library?”
Earlier this week the State Government stated that farmers didn’t require compensation because the NSW Farmers’ Association had agreed to the restrictions on land use.
“If I know these boys from Tottenham the Government’s got something coming.”
