Comment by Fiona Nash on December 16, 2009 at 4:40pm: G'day Steve,
I am unable to attend on Friday as I have a long-standing commitment that I cannot break. I admire the Agmates community for what it is trying to do to help Peter and I will send a representative from my office on Friday.
Fiona

Comment by Christopher Leeds on November 26, 2009 at 10:42pm: I watched the senate debate last night. Just want to say thanks Fiona for standing up and representing Australia's future. Keep asking hard questions for us!

Comment by Anita Lethbridge on November 18, 2009 at 10:23am: VOTE NO to an ETS in any shape or form.
An ETS will have huge ramifications for all Australians and only very minor, if any, benefits regarding Climate Change, a natural occurring phenomenom.

Comment by Rob Moore on October 22, 2009 at 10:25am: Hello Fiona- the gloves must surely be off now after the NFF sellout deal.A Q that your staff may be able to find the A.
How many farming enterprises ie PIC's does the NSW Farmers Assoc members represent?
I have been on the ph to Agforce for same- every single person is either on leave or"at a meeting" and the receptionist conceeded that 6600 was a figure she heard recently. Given that the husband and wife (associate membership) and retirees and other interested business interests ,it would be unlikely to be more than 3000 Pic's of which I am still one ( they are still hoping I will rejoin) On an issue as important and volatile as this WOULDN'T the only decent thing to do would be to poll members opinion.
No as per usual it was a back room done deal to neutralise the only sector left with a bit of backbone!
This is war and the first step is facts to shame these traitors

Comment by Dale Stiller on October 15, 2009 at 12:58pm: Barnaby Joyce added a discussion, Roma Meeting, today & in reference to helping him stop the flawed ETS policy he wrote: "I'd urge everyone to jump online when you can and hit the blog sites, write letters to your local newspapers and to call talkback radio when you get a chance. We are all in this together and if we stick together we stand a good chance of winning the final battle.....cheers, Barnaby "

The discussion Attention! Agmates Action is designed for you to pool resources, refine emails or place sample emails that others can adapt & personalise. There is a list of all the Senators so that we can all send them a clear message.

Comment by Rob Moore on August 19, 2009 at 7:09pm: Hello Fiona,
Great to see you join Agmates, Barnaby has had all the adulation so far and now he'll have to share. Agmates reminds me of one of my favorite songs-Bruce Springsteen's ....From Small Things(Big Things One Day Come)

Comment by Will Cannon on August 18, 2009 at 8:52pm: happy for invite and hope we can get the small cog turning the big ones. Cheers.

Comment by Daniel Scott on August 18, 2009 at 9:00am: G'day & thanks for the invite, happy to see some momentum gathering from the silent majority.
