Dairy Milks Chance for Global Expansion

A South West dairy company is looking to revive plans for a global expansion which could treble its production of milk. It comes after the company won a gong last week, with its Farm Fresh Milk named the most popular dairy product in the country in the prestigious Australian Grand Dairy Awards. It is believed to be the the first WA product to do so in the competition’s 23-year history. In 2014, the couple entered into a partnership with Hancock Prospecting’s Gina Rinehart, which enabled them to produce their premium product in larger volumes. Ms Daubney said the partnership worked like a “great big family”. “We now, through Mrs Rinehart and her other businesses, have a really wide network of people that can help us when we get stuck, and likewise, we try and help when they need milk,” she said.

So why don’t you do that? Which the previous government should have done it, but this government is now in power. I spoke to Gina Rinehart about that on my Sky News programme and she was saying I don’t understand why we wouldn’t why both major parties wouldn’t take up this concept.

Australian Retailers Association calls for pension test changes to encourage older people back into the workforce

The Australian Retailers Association, the peak body for the nation’s $360bn retail sector, has lent its considerable political weight to supporting calls to make employment income exempt from the age pension income test, allowing pensioners to supplement their income while also alleviating severe labour shortages across the country. “Retail has always been a powerfully diverse employment sector and we need to think more creatively about how we can mobilise new segments of our Australian workforce such as mature age workers and pensioners,” Mr Zahra said “We would like to see this as a priority for the Federal government immediately following the election. Should the new government enact this considered change, a new workforce of pensioners can be unlocked and able to choose work that suits them in an economy that desperately needs their efforts.”
