This farmer chose to speak up as peak lobby group closes ranks in the wake of investigations exposing Parkinson's link to chemical.

  • In short: A leaked email from the National Farmers Federation is directing its members to stay silent on a story linking the common farm chemical paraquat to Parkinson’s disease.

  • But the leader of the Victorian state branch has ignored the directive, saying she believes a debate needs to be had about the safe use of the chemical and the health of farmers.
