Grassfed beef industry stakeholders awaiting today’s scheduled release of final recommendations from the Senate committee inquiry into industry levies and structures will have to wait a little longer.
The Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee was initially due to release its final report and recommendations today, but has been granted an extension until September 23.
The inquiry is looking into industry structures and systems governing the collection and disbursement of marketing and research and development levies pertaining to the sale of grass-fed cattle set out in subsections 6(l)(a), 6(1)(b), 6(2)(a) and 6(2)(b) of Schedule 3 (Cattle transactions) of the Primary Industries (Excise) Levies Act 1999.
