The first test of commitment to the Queensland Dairy Plan
Many Queenslanders have now heard the story of Jason & Lisa Rozynski and the very real threat facing their family dairy farm.
eastAUSmilk has deliberately not rushed into the public conversation. Our priority has been working urgently behind the scenes speaking to processors, government and industry stakeholders and doing everything possible to find a way forward for Jason and his family.
This is an established Queensland dairy farming family that wants passionately to keep farming. Their farm produces approximately 3.3 million litres of high-quality Queensland milk. This isn’t milk Queensland needs to produce sometime in the future. It is Queensland milk we already have, and we are at risk of losing it.
While eastAUSmilk exists to fight for dairy farmers and to help build a strong, sustainable future for our dairy industry, this responsibility cannot sit with us alone.
The Queensland Government, processors and key industry bodies have recently committed to a Queensland Dairy Plan to rebuild, strengthen and grow our local dairy industry.
This is the first real test of that commitment.
The Plan is about working together to protect and grow Queensland dairy production and right now, that means doing everything we can to keep the farmers and milk production we already have.
That commitment has to mean something.
TO THE QUEENSLAND PUBLIC:
Please be a voice for the Queensland dairy farmers and please keep supporting Queensland produced and processed milk. Queenslanders have a powerful voice in the future of our dairy industry, and we are asking for your help to:
1. Call on ALL Queensland Dairy Processors to Step Forward Now
Work with us to find a solution that keep these cows milking, keeps this family farming and keep 3.3 million litres of high-quality fresh milk in Queensland.
2. Always Choose Queensland Fresh Milk
Choose fresh Queensland-produced and processed milk. Ask for Queensland milk & encourage your family, friends, local businesses and supermarkets to do the same.
3. Use your voice
Share Jason & Lisa’s story. Talk about it. Ask questions. Help us send a clear message to processors, retailers and government which is:
QUEENSLANDERS WANT QUEENSLAND PRODUCED AND PROCESSED MILK AND WE WANT A STRONG LOCAL DAIRY INDUSTRY
