This all makes so much sense. My mother and 2 of her brothers-in-law (so just to emphasise, they were all related by marriage only) all got a PD diagnosis within a couple of years of each other. They all grew up and lived within 20 miles of each other, all on farms. They were all dead within 2 years of each other.
In a leaked email seen by the ABC, the National Farmers Federation (NFF) head office encourages its members to "avoid prolonging the story".
"Essentially as we expected the story has had very little traction beyond the ABC online and Landline story and that’s how we’d like to keep it," the email reads.
