The popular NSW Nationals steak sandwich fundraiser returned at this year’s AgQuip agricultural field day near Gunnedah. 

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the pollies were on the tools, picking up the tongs for a good cause. 

“AgQuip is the highlight of the NSW agricultural calendar, and a major boost to the Gunnedah community who benefit from the 50,000 visitors who make their way to the region,” Mr Anderson said. 

“AgQuip is about so much more than the economic benefit it brings to our region, it’s also an opportunity for our farmers to reconnect, to share ideas, and to stay up to date with the cutting edge of farming technology. 

“The event goes hand in hand with the sights and smells of a steak sandwich, with breeders battling it out to be the most popular sandwich of the week.  

“This year, the National Party threw our hats back in the ring, offering our famous steak sandwiches, cooked by MP’s. 

"NSW Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders led from the front along with new Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan, Member for Oxley Michael Kemp, Gunnedah's own Sarah Mitchell, and Nationals Candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey.

“It’s all for a good cause, helping raise funds for Gunnedah Family Support, who look after those in the community who need our support most.  

“The steaks were again been donated by Teys Australia Tamworth, who are proud to continue their involvement in our AgQuip fundraising drive. 

“We're still doing the numbers and tallying up how much funding was raised, but I look forward to finding out where the money will be going to help families in need in Gunnedah."
