Cut Farm Red Tape, Lower Grocery Prices

Farmers should be growing food, not fighting paperwork. Every new layer of climate regulation, reporting, land-use restriction and compliance adds cost before food ever reaches the supermarket. Net-zero bureaucracy does not make groceries cheaper, it makes farming harder and food more expensive. Families pay for that red tape every week at the checkout.

One Nation solution: One Nation will bring grocery prices down by getting government off farmers’ backs. We would cut unnecessary regulation, streamline approvals, reduce reporting obligations, remove duplication between governments and review compliance systems that push up food costs. Farmers need time in the paddock, not time buried in net-zero paperwork.
