The second-term ACT MP has been a dairy farmer for 30 years.
Cameron has been a strong advocate for the farming sector. The appointment gives ACT a second high profile parliamentary role in the agriculture sector.
First-term ACT MP and former Federated Farmers president, Andrew Hoggard is Minister for Biosecurity, Minister for Food Safety, Associate Minister of Agriculture (Animal Welfare, Skills) and Associate Minister for the Environment under ACT’s coalition deal with National.
The party says between Hoggard and Cameron, it is well-placed to ensure rural New Zealand has a strong voice both inside and outside the executive.
Other members of the committee are Miles Anderson, Suze Redmayne, and Catherine Wedd from National, Jo Luxton and Cushla Tangaere-Manuel from Labour and Steve Abel from Greens.
