A RALLY has been organised by Western District farmers to be held at 11.30am tomorrow at the Colac Memorial Square in protest to the inadequate response by both the Federal and State Government to the threat posed by the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Indonesia.

The ‘Rally For A Response’ organiser and dairy farmer from Alvie, north west of Colac, Peter Delahunty, said the rally symbolises mounting regional anxiety of an FMD outbreak.
