Barley Board likely to live on
7 Oct 2004
South Australia may not implement plans to disband the “single desk” system for barley marketing, with any decision dependent on changes to federal government competition policy and the allocation of some state grants as so-called competition payments. South Australian premier Mike Rann said he wanted to save the single desk for barley marketing. He said the government resolved that it would not reintroduce the Barley Marketing bill unless the next federal government continues to insist upon enforcing reductions in state grants under national competition policy. Both Labor and the coalition have announced plans to redirect those payments to other purposes.
