The following statement entitled "Fodder Subsidies Recipe for Land 
Degradation" was issued by Bob Collins on 12 February.

The Minister for Primary Industries and energy, Senator Bob Collins has 
called on the Asutralian Conservation Foundation to consider the Federal 
Opposition's drought policy in its assessment of each of the major 
parties commitment to the environment.
In a detailed letter Senator Collins says the Coalition's advocacy of 
fodder subsidies in its drought policy is a recipe for further land 
degradation.
Senator Collins says it totally cuts across the principles of the 
National Drought POlicy, implemented by teh Federal labor Government and 
supported by teh States.
The policy also cuts across the Coalition's claim that land degradation 
is the major problem facing rural Australia.
