Queensland's Labor Government is set to throw a protective cordon
around prime farmland at the expense of gas and mining developments. Not
surprisingly the resources sector says Anna Bligh's gone too far. Yet farmers in
one of the state's best cropping areas are angry too that an exemption has
already been given to a proposed coal mining project.
As Peter McCutcheon found
during a visit to Queensland's Central Highlands, defining what constitutes
prime farmland is proving just as difficult.
