Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Farm Safety Isn’t Paperwork; It’s Life or Death with Bec Fing
Q: How should contractors be handled in safety expectations?
If a contractor's safety standards are below yours, raise them to your standards; otherwise, ensure they meet or exceed your safety requirements and induction expectations.
Farm Safety Isn’t Paperwork; It’s Life or Death with Bec Fing
Q: Where do you see resistance in safety adoption on farms?
Resistance is mainly among older generations and people who fear the bureaucratic burden, but the shift is toward viewing safety as a professional necessity that can coexist with freedom on the land.

Q: George, will transferring a farm into a trust or a company affect CGT?
The CGT treatment remains fundamentally the same whether held in trust or individual, with some flexibility around distribution and concessions if eligible; timing and structure will affect what can be distributed and the marginal tax impact.
