A farmer took his horse for a casual canter across the Sydney Harbour Bridge this morning, to protest the New South Wales Government‘s proposed vegetation clearing legislation.
Lovely day for it. The farmer, Glenn Morris, rode down lane 8 of the bridge at around 10am t raise awareness of the legislation, which would allow farmers to clear native vegetation. Morris believes this will damage healthy soils and rivers.
“We need vegetation on farms to protect healthy soils and rivers, and yet the State Government plans to allow important native vegetation to be cleared more easily,” Mr Morris said in a statement.
Look, I feel like there is exactly one person whose awareness has been keenly raised as a result of this protest. Whoever is in that white hatchback directly behind Morris probably has a very keen sense of what is going on here.
