Australia’s National Farmers Federation (NFF) says it is ready to work with Environment Minister Murray Watt on the development of a new set of environmental laws following a roundtable with the minister and other key stakeholders on June 19.

Watt, who took over the portfolio from Tanya Plibersek in Labor’s cabinet reshuffle in May, said it was “time to work together to fix” the nation’s ageing environmental laws.
