Since the reduction of dairy market regulation in 2000 – the “Dairy Balance Of Payments” has reduced by 2/3 (66%)
In Year 2000 there was a major change in the Australian dairy industry. The 7 dairy industries which could not trade across state boarders were allowed free access to all markets. The markets in each state were divided broadly into quota states and pooling states. The result has has not been the same in all…

Dairy Australia’s review seen as “Victoriacentric”. FNQ not included!!

Each australian consumes 1 litre of milk in some form EVERY DAY. Every year we add 365,000 or so people to our population. That is 1,000 people per day !! So every day we need 1,000 litres of milk more than the day before !! That equates between 30 and 50 cows PER DAY EXTRA…

Australia has the agricultural resources to be self sufficient and be…
