THERE must be transparency in moves by the State Government to legislate an indigeneous treaty, Victorian Farmers’ Federation president Brett Hosking said after Tuesday’s announcement.
“It is critical that such a significant piece of policy and legislation is considered through an open and transparent consultation process as it moves through Parliament,” Mr Hosking said. “Farmers and regional communities must form part of this consultation, and we look forward to engaging constructively to achieve the right result.”
“The government said themselves that these policies work best when people affected can have their say. This must be the way forward on this process.”
