Climate change activists are furious with the government's changes to the Agricultural Emissions Pricing Plan.
Despite advice from the Climate Change Commission to base behavioural change on the rising price of carbon, farmers will be charged the lowest levvies possible.
More trees will also be counted in offsetting emissions.
Climate activist David Tong says it's a humiliating move for a Green party co-leader to be the Climate Change Minister at the time of this decision.
James Shaw has declined to be interviewed on Morning Report, as has the Minister of Agriculture, Damien O'Connor.
Tong spoke to Gyles Beckford.
