Selling Cubbie Station to an overseas buyer might actually be illegal, unethical, and if it were to be re-instituted as a cotton farm, totally unacceptable environmentally.
Indeed, whether the massive property, with it's extra lots, is used to grow cotton or not, it is now very questionable if it can or should be used as a farm at all?
Surely, the $450 million price-tag is effected when government considers what rehabilitation to the inappropriately used land is necessary?
Cotton is NOT a viable crop in Australia, and should be classed as a weed, along with Radiata pines and all our state governments.
Now, were an AUSTRALIAN company or federal government to buy it, and rehabilitate it by planting INDUSTRIAL CANNABIS, we might have a very different ethical, legal and environmental situation?
JOBS JOBS JOBS! in new Hemp fibre and resin and plastics industries would abound, alround, and above ground! Unlike the NSW government!
When they're not struggling to scratch two coins together, could the "Laney Boyz" of Nimbin pool their resources?
