The amendments to the Pastoral Land Act would have required cattle stations to negotiate with native title holders before launching new non-pastoral projects on the land.

The NT Cattleman's Association's chief executive officer, Ashley Manicaros, welcomed the Government's announcement that the proposed amendments would not go ahead.

"We can now get on with the job of creating even more jobs in our $1.2 billion industry, free of any immediate excess red tape."But the decision was described as"bitterly disappointing" by Central Land Council policy director Josie Douglas, who accused the Government of walking away from provisions that had been agreed to.
