Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says it’s time Australia cut green tape to unlock the business potential of this country. The National Farmers Federation is pleading for industrial relations to be simplified, so the agricultural sector can lead a post COVID-19 economic recovery. This would include export fees waived, cuts to green tape and millions of dollars poured into regional infrastructure.
“I think we have got to get back to making things here in Australia and make our own wealth, and that means making the most of our natural resources," Mr Canavan said. “I certainly have been campaigning alongside them to see green tape cut in this country that is holding so many projects back. “Agricultural, mining, manufacturing spaces; these are the sectors of the economy we need to unleash.” The report by the NFF is due to be released on Tuesday.

The Left's outrage is 'selective' when it comes to Indigenous issues | Sky News AustraliaInstead of protesting police brutality, activists should be protesting the high rates of family violence within the Indigenous community, according to Alice Springs Councillor Jacinta Price.\n\nResearch conducted by Curtin University Hannah McGlade found Aboriginal people are 37 times more likely to be hospitalised than non-Aboriginal women when it comes to non-fatal assaults.\n\nIn remote areas and in the Northern Territory, the rate of hospitalisation is 86 per cent higher.\n\nMs Price told Sky News activists are focusing on Indigenous deaths in custody, despite recent figures from the Australian Institute of Criminology that found Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are less likely to die than non-Indigenous prisoners while incarcerated.\n\n“People want to be outraged, but their outrage is clearly selective,” she said.\n\n“Maybe if the rest of Australia decides to get up and take to the streets, maybe we can shame the rest of Australia the do something about these situations.”\n
