My missus, her family is a seventh generation farming family.

There's not many families in Australia anymore that have that title.

So her family settled in the southwestern slopes of New South Wales in 1839, I believe.

And they've had generation after generation of family work in this land.

And that's largely because I've got a big gripe with how the government treats the farmers in this country.

They're the backbone of this country.

Have you seen what's happening in Victoria?

Oh, mate.

You know what?

It's almost like a Pandora's box.

So with the social media thing, I've got my things that I want to talk to and try and bring light to.

But the more you look, the more you find.

The dirtier it gets, the more angry you get.

And that's what makes me so disingenuous about the government.

It's like...

Back in the day, they could hide from it.

Now they can't.

There's too much information out there.

There's too much.

And you can look to both sides of the argument, but largely it will just boil down to the truth in the end.
