December 1, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland dairy farmers, who have long been calling for the introduction of an “effects test” into consumer legislation, will be celebrating.<\/p>\n

Legislation which will give the ACCC stronger powers to pursue practices which effect competition have been introduced into the Federal Parliament.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Dairyfarmers Organisation has been pushing for an “effects test” since 2011 when the supermarket milk price war began.<\/p>\n

The new legislation will update the Competition and Consumer Act with the aim of reducing the ability of large companies to use their market power to damage their suppliers and\/or smaller competitors and so reduce overall competition.<\/p>\n

QDO president Brian Tessmann said the new provision would encourage transparency to the benefit of producers, consumers and retailers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effects test will benefit not only Queensland dairy farmers, but the entire small business sector in resolving issues around predatory pricing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
