to move:

That the House:

(1)
notes that:
(a)
micro-brewers in Australia have an excellent product that has provided a niche market and is complementing boutique wines as a regional tourism product; and
(b)
these micro-brewers are suffering disadvantage because they are treated differently to the small wine industry in relation to tax; and
(2)
calls in the Government to:
(a)
support a review of the tax system in relation to micro-brewers, with a view to making the tax more equitable and in a similar tax regime as for the boutique wine growers and the Wine Equalisation Tax; and
(b)
continue to support the development of rural and regional areas with innovative new products such as those being developed by micro-brewers.
