Desperate QLD farmer fighting massive land clearing fines

A Queensland farmer is fighting more than $112,000 in fines after harvesting his own fodder to feed his cattle in drought.

Dan McDonald operates his own cattle grazing business north-west of Charleville that is reliant on mulga.

He’s being prosecuted for an offence characterised as ”carrying out development without a permit”.

Dan tells Alan it’s his livelihood on the line.

“We invest our equity, our blood sweat and tears, into purchasing this vegetation and now we’re being stopped from doing that.”
