The federal government has committed to extending Right to Repair laws to agricultural machinery. 

The laws, which are currently in place for light vehicles, would mean farmers can either repair their own machinery like tractors, or use third party mechanics instead of sending it back to the manufacturer. 

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke to National Farmers Federation President Hamish McIntyre about the reforms.
