Satellites, Surveillance & Supermarket Shortages: Where’s the Beef?

🎙️ Agsolutely Fabulous Podcast Show Notes:In this week’s episode of Agsolutely Fabulous, Katja Williams and Gillian Fennell are back at the mic with another no-nonsense rural roundup. We’re diving into the big issues making waves across rural Australia:📡 Telstra’s Satellite Texting Service – Is this the outback solution we’ve been waiting for? We break down what it means for farmers, remote families, and emergency comms in isolated areas.🔍 Small-Scale Abattoir Under Surveillance – Covert cameras, community concerns, and the bigger question: should government surveillance be mandated in agriculture?🥩 Where’s the Beef? – Supermarket shelves are empty while cattle prices remain high. We ask: who's profiting, and why aren’t consumers seeing the value?🐗 Pig Hunters Doing the Heavy Lifting? – New data reveals recreational hunters are culling more than triple the national average. Should policymakers take notice—and support their role in feral animal management?👩‍🌾 Should Women Be Paid for Voluntary Work? – From on-farm labour to organising community events, women are doing the invisible heavy lifting in ag. It’s time we ask: what’s it worth, and who benefits from keeping it unpaid?💬 Join the conversation by sending us your thoughts on any of this week’s topics.
