The shortest day-time is tomorrow as we hit the winter solstice. Just under 10 hours from sunrise to sunset except Tassie where Hobart gets 9 hours!.

The 2026 winter solstice will occur at about 6:24pm AEST on Sunday, June 21, marking the moment Earth’s south pole reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

This means Sunday will be the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, based on the amount of time between sunrise and sunset. 🌅

Warning on drones operating near power lines as Wasleys SA accident takes out power service to 58 customers and could cause fire or injury.

In the air or on the ground, working too closely to powerlines is dangerous.

After a large commercial crop spraying drone struck a high voltage line near Wasleys, causing it to fall and cutting power to 58 customers, we are reminding farmers and contractors to stay alert around power infrastructure.

With these agricultural drones increasingly used year-round for activities including spraying and monitoring, the risks are also increasing. Striking powerlines can cause serious injury, fire, and widespread outages.

This adds to 17 other farm safety incidents involving power infrastructure already in 2026.

Stay safe:
✅ Identify powerlines and poles before starting work
✅ Use the Look up and Live map or app
✅ Ensure proper drone training and approvals

If you hit power equipment call us on 13 13 66, or call 000 in an emergency, and stay at least 10m clear of fallen powerlines.

The Government back flip on eligibility on Capital Gains tax from 2 million to 10 million turnover makes 99% of farmers eligible for the concession.

Today's announcement on Captial Gains Tax is a major win for farmers. After sustained NFF advocacy, the Federal Government has confirmed it will expand access to the small business 50% active asset CGT concession, lifting the turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million.

This means around 99% of Australian farm businesses are expected to be eligible, bringing about 8,700 additional farm businesses into the system.

“While there may be more work to do to ensure the full suite of reforms meets the needs of farmers, this is a strong step forward. The fact this measure will be progressed through current legislation is critical, it gives farmers certainty now and allows them to plan ahead with confidence.” - NFF President Hamish McIntyre.

Clayton chats to Liam Maihi about his upcoming show at Deni Ute Muster and his song - Toughest Man 🎶

“I like the rowdy crowds. The kind to pop a boot off and use it as a drinking vessel, The kind that knows dark liquor isn’t just for the end of the night, the kind that are midnight made. That’s exactly who I am at someone else’s show, the loose unit in
the front row yelling out for my favourite song. So if that’s you, you will enjoy the show!”
