Glynn Williams is a fifth-generation farmer, barrister and solicitor in Central Coast.

In this conversation, Glynn talks about growing up in a dairy-farming family, the ups and downs of Tasmanian agriculture, what it takes to stay on the land and why he’s running for mayor.

He also talks about council rates, farm costs, food sovereignty, data centres, and free trade versus fair trade.

Every private-sector employee in Tasmania receives eleven legal public holidays each year.

In Central Coast, they receive just ten.

And the strange thing is: nobody actually decided to take that day away.

When the federal Fair Work Act replaced Tasmania’s state awards in 2009, the Show Day entitlement that had existed in those awards for generations quietly disappeared.

The Statutory Holidays Act 2000 had never listed Central Coast because the awards already provided for the day.The result w...
