Deadset: 1. Nats partyroom is mothership of 'ideological agendas'. 2. Oz govts have actively driving ag into arms 'profit-driven financiers' for 30 years. 3. Reserve Bank et al warned not acting is massive direct threat to GDP. You're an ex-banker. Who is the threat now? https://twitter.com/D_LittleproudMP/status/1321575007558922240
Not only that, you are working on a biodiversity stewardship scheme so farmers can get paid for increases in natural capital. NFF says 5% of farm income should come from this source by 2030. Banks recognising farmers role in environment be part of pivot.

So you can't have it both ways. You can't say farmers are part of the climate solution because they are improving landscape, then in the next breath say farmers will be ruined if banks take a proactive approach on climate. Please make up your mind. I've got whiplash.
But if it's about running for leadership and winning over the coal faction in the Nats party room, best use your inside voice. And then please let us know which David Littleproud will turn up as a future leader.
