12 min - Mark Cameron | “Pastoral farming rights ‘at risk’”
As part of this week’s “Opinion Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Mark Cameron from the ACT Party discusses the issues and implications around the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill.
The Bill clearly aims to put an end to farming in the high-country, and farmers are facing one of the biggest battles of their lifetime as the reform Bill is proving the best chance of casting aside pastoral farming rights over the environment.

1 hr 6 min - Kate Cocks & Emily Murray | “Concern over proposed land reform changes”
As part of this week’s “Opinion Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Kate Cocks of Mt Nicholas Station and Glenmore Station’s Emily Murray discuss the issues and implications around the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill.
Changes proposed in the Bill threaten the viability of high-country farming for pastoral lessees.
The Bill proposes to amend the Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998 and the Land Act 1948, to end tenure review and redesign the regulatory system to deliver improved Crown pastoral outcomes.
But farmers say the Bill is poorly drafted, placing unreasonable limitations on day-to-day farming activities for pastoral leaseholders.

53 min - David Bennett | “Winter grazing rules on hold”
As part of this week’s “News Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, David Bennett from the National Party explains why Minister David Parker had no choice but to defer the winter grazing rules for another 12 months.
Primary industry groups have welcomed the Government’s decision to defer proposed intensive winter grazing (IWG) regulations for a year and instead rely on farm plans to help deliver the changes in farming practices sought.
Environment Minister David Parker says the decision was made after the farming sector agreed to make immediate improvements to intensive winter grazing practices for the coming season and in return the Government has deferred regulations until May 2022.
