Look .. I think its fair the say the 70% rule will only enhance the game for the major players . And yes you can list every negatve piece of journalism on the sector ( as zwu has done ) ..however for every negative you will also find a positive , I couldnt be bothered listing any so just so the same google search .

The current situation ..once again the government providing support to farms ..many of which were never really viable is a complete joke .TIM and GTP have not recieved any bleeding heart handouts , they are too well organised for that .

Now ..I have read though this thread ..just a word of warning on " associated mis " ( anything that is not timber ) , there is still a pending party room " discussion " to come .So that end of things in not yet clear cut , this area has been TIMs strength . There is a lot of support also , the libs country party ties are holding them back here ..but the dury is still out . If you take the GTP cattle as your example which was 80% deduction first year 20% second year , Id bet on some form of compromise along these lines .

Government needs to be supporting MIS ..it will be far cheaper long term and allow a lot of these now viable farms to stop costing the tax payer money .
