But environmental groups say changes could put sustainable producers at ‘front of queue’
The National Farmers Federation CEO, Tony Mahar, is concerned by the change, saying the lack of detail is ‘“alarming”.
Mahar said Australian agricultural land needed “active management”, including clearing of introduced species or to prevent soil issues, and spoke of the sustainable environmental practices that most meat producers followed. “There is a very small proportion of Australian farmers who have a business model based on the bulldozer. If the 1% or so of farmers who do all the clearing are reined in, then Australia would be closer to the front of the queue on environmental grounds for market access,” she told Guardian Australia.
