Episode 4: The Labour of Labour

This episode brings you special guests Ben Rogers from the National Farmers Federation, Matthew Palise from Red Rich Fruits, and Kerry Thompson from our very own Citrus Australia, to talk about changes to the piece rate system, PALM Scheme and what’s next after the axing of the Agriculture Visa. Matt is the Managing Director of Rich Rich Fruits and dials in from Eastern Creek, NSW, to discuss using the PALM Scheme across multiple farms, states and commodities. Ben is the General Manager of Workplace Relations and Legal Affairs at the NFF and joins us all the way from Canberra to deep dive into the land of politics and policy. Lastly, Kerry Thompson, our Policy and Membership Officer, joins us in the studio (Gabby’s office) to bring practical applications and resources to citrus growers to help with recent changes. Join your hosts, Stephen and Gabby, for the latest.
