Dear Minister,

1. Establish a Carbon Trading scheme in conjunction with the Federal Government, agreeing to pay all farmers for Carbon positive activities on their land including vegetation.
2. This agreement would require the polluters paying those who clean the filth up - the Farmers. Include in this program payment to land owners through carbon certificates for trees growing on their property and any other carbon positive activity.
3. This program to be offered to all land owners not as is now only those who have retained trees. Hence encouraging wide spread plantings and proliferation of biodiversity.
4. The proposal has to be financially attractive appealing to all land owners across the State and it has to be voluntary.
5. The past 13 years of lock up has to be paid for in full, by those who benefited by the legislation namely - the Coal powered power stations.
6. The peoples property rights must be restored in full and undertakings in writing made by the people and the State that this Institution "Secure Property Rights" will never be threatened again by the State.

It's surprising that the RURAL newspaper "The Land" is calling the chop a tree day exponents as conducting an illegal act by chopping down a tree when it is clearly arguable that the Governments of the day are violating the constitutional rights of every citizen who owns land under a Fee Simple title which gives unfettered ownership of Land, Water and Flora thereupon that land. Just who is imposing illegality? Even the Farmer's own media is playing the political side. Perhaps they got told where to get off over some issue and this is pay back.

Not only is The Land story on the CPPA movement carefully denigratory towards the actions of Peter Spencer and this organisation, but they have the audacity to run a parallel story adjacent, of new politician for Barwon - Kevin Humphries - declaring the vegetation act hamstringing farmers as "NOT TOO BAD." This coming from a NSW National pollie to boot. Who voted this misinformed, quick to conform to the party line character in as their political rep?

Mr Koperberg, with a history of presiding over perhaps the most environmentally destructive events this nation has seen since colonisation, is now sitting in office presiding over lives that in another life, he watched burn. He has a driving propensity to play policeman and conjure investigative teams to answer to his beck and call, with this call often being a media play for his own self-serving interests. Remember the Junee fire bumper investigation. An investigation that discovered a discarded cigarette butt and hence they had the culprit cold. What happened to that time consuming, tax wasting inquiry to cover up fuel load miss-management?

The couple of dozen trainee fire investigators ensconced within the RFS's ranks will be just a dip in the ocean compared to what he is able to put together under Iemma's sanctioning of secret investigative budgetary options. Lets watch the poor sods in the Moree clearing fiasco get treated like the Jews of 1939 and after a thorough vilification, this too will fade into obscurity as Koperberg the Minister jumps through one hoop after another following the likes of Reece Turner of the Wilderness Society's rantings, just to secure radical green votes.

If the Federal Government is so confident that it can over ride the constitutional rights of land owners, why are those so dedicated to having Peter Spencers cases thrown out of court time after time, as a strike out before hearing, in any way they can? How is a citizen supposed to receive fair hearing and justice when his very own legislative leaders are using his own tax dollars unfairly and undemocratically against him? Every dog has his day and Peter Spencer is not in any way being vexatious like the Green Turnips of this Nation, but rather fighting a battle for rural survival that is not only his own, but all of ours, against political oppression in the most insidious way, legalised theft.

Peter's property "Saarahnlee" has effectively all but been destroyed by unworkable, dictatorial, rights stealing legislation. Vegetation acts and neighbouring national Parks ineptitude and intransigence has caused his property like many to just wither on the vine whilst sending him into financial difficulty. Dingoes/wild dogs stream out of the parks like marauding hordes, decimating his sheep population making it untenable to farm such stock. Subsequently woody weed and unfettered timber growth is taking over once productive, well managed, open high country terrain due to no ability to graze manage. The unworkable, city orientated vegetation act then denies practical management processes to maintain the diversity and viability of this land and hence the value significantly drops and results in total financial non-viability.

Now all that is serious enough to cause any farmer to capitulate and join the suicide ranks, but when the real reasons for this personal unconstitutional destruction is revealed to be a political stunt to satisfy some bloke called Howard and Costello's international status as Y2K Co2 green house gas handlers for their corporate mates, the plot starts to stink so bad that men with backbone like Peter say, "Suicide my arse, I'll take these bastards to task for this treason." Here it is that you see Peter Spencer of "Saarahnlee" and others, as the David against Goliath, fighting not just for themselves, but for the most fundamental rights that go to the very core of Australia and what made it the greatest democracy in the world. A democracy that over the last two decades is being dismantled and reconstructed in a manner that will see the future generations live in servitude.

Too hard you say. Then just for one example, why are young people being forced to work for $6.40 an hour, provide their own cash float for the customers they handle and being forced to remunerate the employer if a customer skips on paying? No our fundamental way of life is under serious attack and people like peter Spencer and CPPA are your champions. Win lose or draw, they highlight the enemy within, are you going to stand back and allow others to fight your battles, or at the very least, fail to show your solidarity as an Australian?
