An independent milk authority to control the supply sale and distribution of milk in the ACT is expected to begin operating on November 1. The Minister for the Interior Mr Hunt announced this last night. The ACT Advisory Council debated the draft ordinance to establish the authority at length. The chairman Mr J H Pead said the legislation aimed to dissipate the value of vendors licences where money had already changed hands.

Milk licensing shifts vendor rights under new ordinance
Government spokesmen at the Advisory Council meeting said the license will grant trading rights from the milk authority rather than the wholesaler. A Labor member noted goodwill payments may not vanish, but will shrink as vendors become their own bosses. The plan includes multi brand zones where a zone vendor must deliver all brands, and new zones may be created without immediate payments in expanding areas. An Interior Department official said sales would hinge on bona fide purchases and that the authority will license buyers when old vendors surrender, with no role for milk round speculation. Extended report referenced Hunt’s announcement on page eight.
