From where I'm sitting-

                             The key to M&J's  legal battle is to quickly bring the "Just Terms " carbon case and any other pending actions to a head quickly and then to free up time and resources for the "strike back" against that out of control DEC over there.

 

Surely Dr Schoombee has some explaining to do?????? Got lawyer of the year for his trouble!!!

Ok,I thought there might be more details on where you where up to now,re the idiotic scum that have wrecked your business and it seems just about everything you hold dear. I'd dearly like to see DEC consigned to the garbage heap where they belong,for trying this stupid rubbish.

Hey, Bev.  Thanks for caring.  The NAB has been obstinate and determined to fight with DEC against us, rather than the logical joining with us (as a partner, as we always treated them and thought of them) to hold DEC to account.  Ever since last October (when everyone inundated the bank and pollies), our situation has not changed.  It's caught up in legal tit for tat.  We're still on the property and attempting to hold the bank and receivers at bay while we try to pursue our case against DEC.  We and our lawyers believe we have a good case...we just need leave to pursue it.  As we know from Peter Spencer's experience, though, this is not as easy as the average citizen would like to believe.

 

Cheers to all,

Janet

Janet ,

          If you'd come here in a leaking boat  to xmas Is- you probably would have got a govt grant to set up a feedlot given your qualifications. Great example that our pathetic Govts set isn't it.

I had time to listen to the complete interview  this morning and even though I know the  story- it made  me disgusted at the agenda- also more determined to do what I can to fight it.

          Jo Nova is a champion too and gives a good summary at the end.

Stand and fight. Sit and fight. Sleep and fight. Wake and fight. Never give up.

Janet I apologize if I'm asking too much,but would we be able to get a general update on your position and what the current position is, with the Thomsons' local representatives, both state and federal? Do they have either deaf, or unsympathetic ears to the situation as it stands?

The DEC have become very similar to some of the savage bushfires they themselves have recently caused, and until they are brought under control and/or extinguished more farms and homes will be at risk.

Good on ya, Janet.    Thoughts are with you from the Riverina NSW district. It was really good to meet you at the Convoy last year in Coolac.

Well said Roo!

                  While this is getting a dust off I  had occassion to be talking to Dougal Gordon  ceo of Aust Lot Feeders Assoc. I had a broadside at him for his "Jews in the ghetto- Vichy French" defense that they put up to help one of their own. Matt was the WA pres of ALFA I think.

            I ph Jim Cudmore ( who I have met personally and seems like a stand up sort of man)- Jim is head of the board and he very meekly said that there was nothing that they could do for M&J ( s*** scared he was to take the greens on). This dissappointed me at the time but now I have young Dougal telling me porkies about how the Grain fed levy works- well - we went from him telling me how it all works to him seeking higher interpretation and being quite  compliant . I found out today that he has gone to RUSSIA for 2 weeks ( that won't save him!)
