Cane Growers Scheme Calls for Pest Destruction and Fire Fund
The Cairns sugar district delegates push a comprehensive plan to revive a Pest Destruction Fund and create a Fire Prevention Committee. The proposal seeks a levy on cane per ton to fund pest control, wallaby and fire mitigation, with compensation for blackmail cases and districtwide cooperation among mills, farmers, and councils.
