The great E-debate
Australian farmers should diversify into roo farming!
You are invited to participate in an e-debate on the above topic using the online room which we will be using to deliver the Rural Business Management course.
This debate is also an exercise to get you to think out side of your square (and probably taking a few of us out of our comfort zone.)
You have two time options for participating in this debate:
12.00 noon AEST on Tuesday 17th June 2008
8.00 pm AEST on Wednesday 18th June 2008
This e-debate is free for those wanting a good laugh! It is sure to be a great event. Register me.
