Brownes Dairy, please reverse your decision to cancel milk contracts

The issue

In 10 days time, 4 Western Australian dairy farmers will have to close the doors because Browne's Dairy has decided to arbitrarily cut their contracts, and have failed to negotiate at all.  Mr Girgis was happy to use my brother as the face of Brownes publicity following the Yarloop bush fires but has been conspicuously unavailable whenever any of the 4 farmers have tried to contact him regarding renewal of contracts.  

My brother is one of these farmers and is part of 80 years of milking history in our family.  

Mr Girgis, please reconsider the move to cut these contracts completely and help these farmers to find some way of carrying on in the dairy industry.  This short sighted move may find you struggling to find milk in the future and may result in a significant back lash from consumers.  Your latest advertising campaign is a slap in the face for these hard working farmers who are about to be forced out of an industry they love.  Your splash logo of "supporting WA Dairy Farmers" must be a joke considering how you have treated these farmers.
