My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment, Senator Birmingham. Australian farmers are still principally small business. The Palmer United Party supports the needs of Australian farmers. I put it to you that the Commonwealth must directly cut the environmental regulatory burden and not pass responsibilities on to states, in the hope that farmers get a fair go. This government removed the resources supporting communication to farmers who were led into the EPBC Act. Will the minister recommit to resourcing liaison officers to communicate with farmers their responsibilities under the EPBC Act?
