In my capacity as the representative of the minister for agriculture, I can advise the chamber of the commitment made by the National Farmers Federation in their road map towards 2030. But what I would say is that, along with many industries around Australia, we thank the National Farmers Federation for their commitment towards reducing emissions. As we all know, the agricultural sector is a sector that has been constantly criticised for its high emissions. So we thank the National Farmers Federation for that commitment.

But the Morrison government have made it very, very clear that, whatever we do towards reducing carbon emissions into the future, we'll be responsible. We'll be responsible in terms of being environmentally effective and we will also be economically responsible. We will make sure that we do not commit the Australian public to something that we do not know the price of.
