I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1)notes that:

(a)Australia's dairy farmers are caught in a long-running cost-price squeeze, where they are paid less than the cost of producing their milk; and

(b)Government intervention is needed to save our dairy sector and our dairy farmers; and

(2)therefore, calls on the Government to task the ACCC with testing the efficacy of a minimum farm gate milk price and to make recommendations on the best design options.

Leave not granted.
