@Rob582011711 @HoolyMcg @bungulla6409 They were under pressure to cut costs. One of AGCs points was accusing CBH of spending too much on the network. So they got a cost cutter in.

@HoolyMcg @bungulla6409 @Rob582011711 I agree he was bad. He was a response to pressure of which AGC was a very vocal part If they had of kept doing normal capex instead of trying to cut costs and do rebates we’d be way better off now

@bungulla6409 @Rob582011711 @HoolyMcg You were whinging that they were ‘gold plating’ the network in 2016. Which helped lead to Jimmy targeting cost cutting. Now catching up when everything is twice as expensive. So that’s worked out well cheers

@CasFarmerCD @NDubuc I reckon. Tractors don’t do anything they couldn’t do in 2005 that makes the farm money. More comfortable. But they pack heaps of half built tech on and pump the price.

@Jusakstud @TracyLefroy @lucyhall10hall That’s what I thought Just like everytime we’ve had a consultant come to reinvigorate our town. They have no ideas. Because if anything was easy, it would have already been done. They can only facilitate. Everyone ticks the box. Farmers get fuck all out of it

@Jusakstud @TracyLefroy @lucyhall10hall Do they come with ideas and then they consult with you at the meeting? Or are you expected to provide the ideas?

@Paul_Brown1 @TheNationalsWA I nominate CBH. Northern farmers get reduced costs over the CBH network as a whole.

So true. Good science can be communicated easily. I’ve googled and I still don’t know what nature positive means. My bet is a new market like the scam carbon offset markets to make middle men rich and govt and business greenwash
Would appreciate some plain language around what 'Nature Positive' actually is and the issues it creates for us in WA, especially in rural/remote areas

No one is ‘navigating’ 3G closure. Our signal is now ‘more shithouse’ than it was. Hotline will do sweet fuck all for the signal between our farm and Carnamah
Telstra has today launched a dedicated helpline for customers navigating the 3G network closure 📶 The hotline is staffed by a team of specialists who are familiar with the transition from 3G to 4G + 5G. Customers can call the hotline on 1800 990 853 between 8am - 7pm AEDT, M- F
