Senator HANSON (Queensland) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Senator McKenzie. There is an immediate need to deal with the imbalance in bargaining power between dairy farmers and processors by legislating to make unfair contracts, and in particular multiyear contracts that bind farmers but not processors, unlawful, because these farmers do not have the means to pursue these unfair contracts in court. When will we see the draft mandatory dairy code of practice? And how long will the consultation period be in relation to the code of practice? And will the government introduce the mandatory dairy code of practice before the end of the year, giving farmers some hope?
