He rejects the claim by the Aussie Farms group the map is a bid to force transparency on the livestock production industry.The interactive map on the Aussie Farms group’s website listing the location of thousands of farms and abattoirs “condoned the harassment of our farmers who were just trying to make a living,” Mr Richardson said.
