Despite attempts to meet with the Prime Minister while in Perth, Western Australian farmers were denied the opportunity.

Farming representatives were eager to meet with Anthony Albanese to discuss a number of issues facing Western Australia’s agriculture industry.

President at The Pastoralists & Graziers Association of WA Tony Seabrook told Oliver Peterson on Perth Live, “It’s all about priorities, this guy’s so focused on getting reelected, agriculture very low on his horizon, his minister’s the same, disappointed.”

“…But I’m just blown away that a government could be so eager to do so much harm to regional Western Australia…” Mr Seabrook continued.
