| Message | What a load of rot. Farmers need Government Assistance - They are the backbone of most nations yet this Government neglects this. The Social and Economic downfalls of failing to provide basic welfare for farmers is detrimental to our economy - My question to the Party Royale is what is your solution? One Nation the RRP proposal - Farmers need a voice!! |

| Message | With international trade, farming is not and should not be the backbone of any economy where it can't be done efficiently. Aloria will still get all the food it needs, even if it isn't all grown here, and farmers can be retrained, with government support, into areas where we are efficient and where they can earn a higher wage. |

| Message | But why should we rely totally on free trade? Why have we gone down the track of allowing Aloria to be dependant on other nations. The current status quo has let the people of Aloria down - One Nation recognises the importance of free trade however also see's the need of primary produce from our own nation. |
