Fuel theft continues to impact farms and rural properties across NSW. Offenders often target unattended machinery, unsecure tanks and remote sheds.

A few simple steps can make a big difference:

• Lock fuel tanks and storage sheds

• Install motion‑activated lighting or cameras

• Keep machinery out of sight when possible

• Record serial numbers and mark equipment

• Report suspicious activity immediately

Report any suspicious activity to your local police or through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Farrer candidate David Farley of Narrandera has promised that he will fight for the farmers who keep food on Australia’s tables.

“Right now, fruit and vegetables are rotting in the fields because farmers can’t get the fuel they need to harvest and transport their produce,” he said.

“When fuel doesn’t reach farming communities, crops go to waste, livelihoods are damaged, and families end up paying more at the checkout.

“I will fight for practical solutions that keep fuel flowing to regional Australia, back our farmers, and stop good produce going to waste.

“When there is an international crisis you can trust One Nation to keep Australia safe. Our communities deserve policies that support the people who grow our food, protect local jobs, and keep groceries affordable.

“In Farrer, I will always fight for our farmers and the communities that rely on them,” he said.
