EP 2 | Graham “Palmy” Palmateer: Shearing, Survival, and Taking on the State. Part 1
From The Extrodinary Ordinary People Podcast · 1:17:19
Show by Extraordinary Ordinary People with John and Peter
Graham “Palmy” Palmateer is a true fixture of rural Victoria. In this episode, Graham takes us back to a different era of farming—from riding bareback across the paddocks and mastering the shearing board to building one of the top contract teams in the state. But Graham’s story is also one of immense resilience. He opens up about the devastating blow in the late 1990s when the state government forced him to destroy his life's work—over a decade of careful fine-wool breeding—due to the Johne's disease eradication campaign. Rather than backing down, Graham led a grassroots battle all the way to Spring Street to fight for Victorian farmers. Tune in as Palmy pulls no punches, peeling back the layers on old-school bush life, union standoffs, and what it truly takes to stand your ground.
