Australia’s dairy industry faces overseas recession and domestic decline in butter use. A government funded levy of 1/8d per lb on butter and 1/16d per lb on cheese will fund research, production methods, and sales promotion.

Increased Legal Aid Urged in ACT Council Meeting

The Advisory Council yesterday urged greater legal aid for needy people in the ACT.
