Following Peter Spencer’s 52-day hunger strike protesting against his treatment under native vegetation legislation, a rally will be held at parliament house, Canberra, on Tuesday, February 2.

The date of the rally coincides with the first sitting of federal parliament for 2010 and is designed to highlight the importance of property rights across a range of areas, including native vegetation, water and mining as well as just terms compensation.

The NSW Farmers’ Association will have a strong presence at the rally and is encouraging members to attend.
