Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington says common sense has prevailed with beekeepers now recognised as “primary producers” by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington said that previously beekeepers had been unable to access primary producer concessions when registering their trucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was approached by a beekeeper from Kumbia towards the end of last year, who explained what was happening and I agreed with him that it seemed ridiculous beekeepers were not listed as primary producers by TMR,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LNP\u2019s Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Dale Last, wrote to the Agriculture Minister on behalf of the Queensland Beekeepers\u2019 Association asking that beekeepers be recognised as primary producers for the purposes of concessional vehicle registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a letter from the Minister, it has been acknowledged that beekeepers do in fact produce food and were entitled to primary producer concessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent result for beekeepers around Queensland who now have access to some relief on the cost of registering their trucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d also like to congratulate members of the Queensland Beekeepers Association who worked hard to help initiate this change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
