Description[?]:
Mr Speaker, it has been one of our long-time demands to reverse the havoc wreaked on our farming communities by Labour's land grabbing through which they stripped responsibility over forestry from our rural communities, monopolizing what was once a considerable source of income for farming families in the hand of the state. We therefore propose to reverse this injustice while making sure that we get a more sensible policy of regulation that ensures that forests remain protected while still allowing for effective forestry operations. Johan Theisen FV Parliamentary Leader |
