Stop the Sale of Incitec Pivot Fertilisers (IPF) Australia to Indonesia!
Stop the Sale of Incitec Pivot Fertilisers (IPF) Australia to Indonesia!
The issue
We, the concerned citizens of Australia, are writing to express our vehement opposition to the proposed sale of Incitec Pivot Fertilisers (IPF) to a foreign entity, specifically Indonesia. This potential sale, which also includes Southern Cross Fertilisers (SCF), raises significant concerns for our nation's agricultural sector, food security, and economic independence.
Australia's agricultural sector is the lifeblood of our economy, providing livelihoods for countless Australians. The sale of IPF and SCF demands careful scrutiny, as it could have profound and lasting impacts on our farmers. It is crucial that we protect their interests, ensuring they have continued access to high-quality and competitively priced fertilisers without any interruptions.
Moreover, the potential loss of fertiliser security could lead to substantial repercussions for the cost of living in our country. Fertilisers are an integral component of agricultural production, and any disturbances or price escalations in this sector could result in higher food prices for consumers, adding strain to Australian families already grappling with the cost of living.
Furthermore, entrusting the production and distribution of such a critical agricultural input to a foreign entity raises legitimate concerns about long-term sustainability, control, and security. We must not compromise our national interests in a sector that is fundamental to our self-reliance and resilience.
We, the undersigned, urgently call upon you, as our elected representative, to use your influence and voice within the Parliament to oppose this proposed sale. We implore you to advocate for a thorough and transparent review of this transaction. It is imperative that we explore every avenue to understand the potential risks and benefits associated with this sale.
We have faith in your dedication to the well-being and prosperity of our nation. Please consider the potential consequences for the cost of living for ordinary Australians.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
