Senate debates Bills
Food Standards Amendment (Truth in Labelling — Palm Oil) Bill 2010; In Committee
Nick Xenophon SA, Independent

It is effectively consequential to having Australian consumer law applying to this. Australian consumer law applies to goods, including food, so it is all-encompassing. So the concept is no different; we are just clarifying it so that there would not be any confusion that one applies to food and the other applies to goods generally. It is consistent with the information that was provided last night about having amendments to the Australian consumer law, which applies more broadly to goods.
Question agreed to.
