The release is a single email, dated 9 June 2026, from a senior policy manager at Farmers for Climate Action to the Minister for Agriculture, Julie Collins, with an advance embargoed copy of the group's report, Energy Sovereignty for Regional Australia: Protecting Farmers, Powering the Future, and a companion media release. The report, authored by Professor Ray Wills, proposes protecting the farm diesel rebate for farm businesses and related agricultural industries, capping Fuel Tax Credit Scheme claims at $50 million per claimant per year for the largest users, and reinvesting the savings in regional grid upgrades, storage and on-farm electrification. The email cites focus group research with mid-to-large farmers and requests a 30-minute post-launch briefing. The release contains no departmental advice or policy decision.
