The NFF’s 11 April 2014 Submission to the House of Representatives Inquiry into Streamlining environmental regulation, ‘green tape’, and one stop shops submission responds to a number of issues relating to jurisdictional arrangements, regulatory requirements and the potential for deregulation. The NFF is seeking a commitment from the Government that new approaches to reporting will not add to the green tape burden of farmers. In addition, the work should also establish a process to proactively and routinely assess the effectiveness and efficiency of regulation affecting Australian agriculture.
