At the request of Senator Sterle, I move:

That the following matter be referred to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee for inquiry and report by 3 December 2014:

Grain export networks, including the on- and off-farm storage, transport, handling and export of Australian grain, with particular reference to:

  (a) the principles and practices underpinning an efficient grain supply chain from farm-gate to port;

  (b) grain marketing and export arrangements and their impact on farm-gate returns;

  (c) competition constraints on grain transport, storage and handling services;

  (d) the extent to which transport, storage and handling arrangements are transparent and accountable; and

  (e) any other related matter.

Question agreed to.
