Referred to: Referred Minister on 29/10/2003
Responded By: Hon Heinrich Palaszczuk MP on 12/12/2003
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of certain residents of Queensland draws the attention of the House to restrictions – 1. applying to persons seeking to maintain personal health and well being by eating a natural diet and in particular the requirement that bovine milk be pasteurised and that products manufactured from bovine milk be manufactured from pasteurised milk; and 2. on personal choice inherent in the current regulatory regime which prescribes the type of foods residents of Queensland may legally buy and proscribes the sale or distribution of certain whole foods.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to support the efforts by your petitioners and others to have provision made pursuant to the Food Production (Safety)Act 2000 to promulgate a regulatory scheme for the responsible production and sale of unpasteurised bovine milk and products manufactured from unpasteurised bovine milk.
