The domestic retail sale of many Australian farmed products is concentrated among a small number of businesses. The ACCC has been tasked with taking a broad look at bargaining power imbalances throughout the supply chains, including in the relationships between farmers, processors and major retailers. It's disappointing that Labor's economic policy continues to be drawn straight from One Nation's playbook. Intervention on prices would have a range of unintended consequences for our agricultural industries, including dairy. What is more effective is competition and a well-operating market. This allows farmers and other parts of the supply chain to shop around for the best price for the product that they supply.

Question agreed to.
