The Australian Wool Commission recommends giving the corporation full disposal control over almost the entire Australian wool clip. If approved by the government, the move would place AW C in charge of about one third of world raw wool production and over half of world produced marine and finger-embroidered wool. The six months to December show revenue of 513.7 million dollars, a figure the commission argues supports the plan as prudent. The proposal stands as the major element in a broader wood marketing preface disclosed in a report published by Senator Weidey's ministry yesterday.
The Minister said the report would be examined in detail by the Government before deciding on recommendations and submissions from wool industry bodies and other groups would be welcomed. The commission proposed a marketing system that keeps auctions but adds negotiated sales and could make woolbrokers agents of the commission. Some within the Government may oppose the proposals, and revisions could be politically driven.

It envisions a stockpile, distributed sales, bonuses, and mixed finance, with private and government support, to aid the wool industry and export all greasy wool.
