Not sweet potatoes sparks WA potato marketing row
Two men from the potato country in the south west choose gaol over fines for growing potatoes without a licence, igniting a heated dispute over the WA Potato Marketing Board. Papalia and Montelone defend farm freedom while the board and Growers Association argue orderly marketing stabilises prices and ensures quality. The case mirrors a long history from wartime controls to present licensing, with calls to restrict or reform the board and prospects of larger, licenseless plantings.
