This year is an important year for woolgrowers to have their say in their representation of levy expenditure via the Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) director elections.

WoolProducers supports the Criminal Code Amendment (Agricultural Protection) Bill 2019 (‘the Bill’) and its intent to strengthen the protections for Australian farmers against the conduct of those who incite trespass or other property offences on agricultural land. The increasing incidence of vandalism and trespass conducted by animal rights activists pose significant risks to rigorous business practices that are implemented by producers, including animal welfare and biosecurity measures.
