THE NATIONALS WA WILL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE TO KEEP AS MUCH GRAIN ON RAIL AS POSSIBLE, AS OUTLINED IN OUR GRAIN TRANSPORT DISCUSSION PAPER. WA NATIONALS MLC PAUL BROWN SAYS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO THE ONGOING CIVIL WAR OVER TIER 3 GRAIN RAIL LINES CLOSURES EXISTS IN HIS PARTYS AGRICULTURAL POLICY. But due to the ferocity of debate between political forces, CBH, Brookfield Rail and grains industry stakeholders, he says that potential compromise has been largely ignored. Mr Brown said the WA Nationals released a $300 million agricultural policy ahead of the 2013 State election last March which aimed to assist industry growth, given export earnings could escalate dramatically from $6 billion to $18 billion in years ahead, due to rapidly expanding Asian market opportunities........ Providing the right transport, energy, water and communications infrastructure in regional areas will encourage more investment in regional food production and processing businesses and create employment and economic growth, the policy said. farmweekly.au/news/agriculture/agribusiness/general-news/tier-3-solution-in-nats-policy/2720306.aspx
