That's very interesting from Senator McKenzie, because, to get around section 51(xxxi) of the Australian Constitution, it requires just terms of compensation. John Howard, with the support of former Queensland Nationals Premier Rob Borbidge and the former NSW Labor Premier Bob Carr, introduced legislated theft of farmers' property rights using the guise of native vegetation protection legislation. These laws stole farmers' property rights. Do you support the removal of farmers' property rights without just terms of compensation?
