Agriculture Minister Murray Watt said that farmers must do more to cut emissions to save the planet.
National’s Senator Matt Canavan on the other hand thinks there is no logic to it.
“If the government makes farmers do this it will mean that you pay more for food in the shops, that’s what it will mean,” he told Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt.
“No other major country in the world is doing this to their nation’s farmers so why would our Government be on the warpath, it doesn’t make any sense.”
The Agriculture Minister declared that the industry cannot rely only on carbon offsets and argued they must change practices while launching consultation on Tuesday on the government’s agriculture and land plan.

Maybe people will think twice before they vote.
Nett Zero is a calculation being the difference between emissions and absorption. First step, calculate the quantity of Australia’s capacity to absorb emissions. Nobody knows what that is, so nett zero cannot be calculated, let alone be required.
WATT IS COMMITTING A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. NET ZERO IS A SCAM. LEAVE OUR FOOD SUPPLIES ALONE.
It's deliberate.
They destroy.
Then they buy on pennies for the dollars.
Farmers work hard, raise a sweat through hard labour, get soil on their hands to produce food for us not like Albo Bowen ,Chalmers and Watt who wouldn't know what hard toil is. Politicians dine at the parliament restaurant and think drink fine wine and assume we are winging about the cost of living unnecessarily.
Hello Matt heard of.a country Called the Netherlands? One of many actually taking steps to ruin their agricultural production. Australia's only consolation maybe that either labour will be voted out or that with their usual incompetence the measures they want to take will become obviously unnecessary when the basic stupidity of Anthropogenic Climate Change reveals itself despite the "Narrative".
It's a good thing we don't have any serious problems..
No other nation is doing this. No other nation has Bowen.
It's time for farmers to do the same as the Netherlands farmers. Form their own political party and kick out government
The ship is going down real quick and I bet the captain will say that’s what the Australian voter wanted.
It's all because Australia is part of the World Economic Forum
Murray better start serving australia you UN Gutless puppet!, Or step down , your public SERVANT , do your fkucing job.
While Australia commits suicide China laughs .
Farmers all over the western world are being put out of business. Dutch farmers are being FORCED to sell up. It isn't just Oz that's under the cosh.
"climate change" is a globalist hoax . Any public office holder who claims there is such a thing as "climate change" should be permanently exiled.
Murray Watt, the moron. Please, can the Liberals stop this BS. End the zero emissions BS, and get out of the UN & WHO
It’s all on purpose.
Many farmers can definitely do better in terms of environmental impact, animal welfare etc. But it shouldn't be up to the government to make their lives harder. WE, the consumers, should pay more for better quality food.
This government administration is delusional deranged and corrupt.
