Mark Hooper: Federated Farmers RMA Spokesperson on the reforms coming next month

Farmers see RMA reform as common sense returning to the farm gate. 

Changes across farming, water, and mining will be introduced to Parliament next month.   

Federated Farmers RMA spokesperson Mark Hooper says farmers already have good systems in place.  

He told Mike Hosking they have farm environment plans which show where the risk factors are and a winter grazing plan, which tells them actions to take, in the case of adverse events. 

Hooper says having an additional piece of paper doesn't add any value in terms of environmental outcomes.
