The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is inviting dairy farmers to participate in a series of public forums as part of its Dairy Inquiry.
The purpose of the forums is to hear directly from dairy farmers about competition and fair trading issues that affect them.
The Dairy Inquiry began in November 2016 and is examining competition between milk processors, contracting and pricing practices, retail pricing, and transparency.
Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss issues directly with ACCC Commissioners.
A Queensland meeting will be held on Monday, February 6 from 11:30am-2:00pm at the City Golf Club at 254 South Street, Toowoomba.
Other meetings will be held in other NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania between February 7 and March 22.
Dairy farmers who are unable to attend a forum are invited to contact the ACCC’s Dairy Inquiry team to have their say.
A summary of issues discussed at the forums will be published on the ACCC website, but the names of attendees will not be published.
