Title: John Lime, National Farmers Federation

A man in farmer’s clothing strolls across a grassy field.

John Lime (SM):

One of biggest issues facing the man on the land today is security of title. Hand and hand in that is the issue of Aboriginal reconciliation. The National Farmers’ Federation believes the only way to move these issues forward is to bring all the parties together, acknowledge the mistakes of the past, and make plans to build a bigger, better, and  brighter future for everyone. But before we can start repairing some of the damage and begin the important process of reconciliation, we have to first acknowledge that that damage has been caused. [A man wearing a t-shirt bearing the design of the Aboriginal flag approaches and shakes the first man’s hand.] [to the second man] So, Tommy, if you’d like to apologise for your native title claims on my properties, that’ll be a pretty good beginning.
