About the Bill
On 13 October 2016 the Member for Dalrymple, Mr Shane Knuth MP, introduced the Sustainable Queensland Dairy Production (Fair Milk Price Logos) Bill 2016 to the Queensland Parliament.
In accordance with Standing Order 131, the Private Member’s Bill has been referred to the Agriculture and Environment Committee for consideration.
The committee must provide its report to the House by 13 April 2017 (Standing Order 136(1)).
According to the Explanatory Notes, the Bill seeks to establish the eligibility criteria and legal protection for voluntary ‘fair milk price’ logos to be placed on containers of milk. These logos are designed to inform consumers the region where the milk was produced and that the dairy farmer who produced the milk received a certain minimum price for the milk.
The Bill also provides for the setting of a minimum price to be paid to dairy farmers in a region for the production of milk to carry a fair milk price logo, calculated using the Queensland Government’s Queensland Dairy Accounting Scheme.
