McGauran take the populist road on Australian farm produce
4 Jul 2005
The National Party warned corporate giants including Woolworths, Coles Myer and McDonald's that it expects a better deal for Australian farmers. The new agriculture minister, Peter McGauran, supported Tasmanian potato growers who have been attacking McDonald's for deciding to source some products from New Zealand. McGauran called on McDonald's to source "to the greatest extent possible" Australian produce, and will meet the fast-food chain's new chief executive Peter Bush to push his buy-Australian views. The Nationals are also pushing for greater controls on the market dominance of Woolworths and Coles Myer and new measures to promote ethanol.
