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.
