VFF President @GermanoEmma and Vice President @DanyelCucinotta & @theparenthood are joint in advocating for childcare access in rural and regional Victoria. Childcare access is a barrier for so many primary caregivers especially women to have the ability to return to work on farm

“Food and fibre is the biggest export out of Victoria, the state is going broke, and yet here we are threatening that industry because of poor planning and a mad rush to an arbitrary target. This government has rocks in its head.” - @VicFarmers Pres @GermanoEmma #springst
