Butter Trade Regulations Debate Reaches Minister
A Melbourne deputation from the butter industry met Minister for Customs Tudor to urge changes to new weight and moisture rules.

Tudor defended the 14 percent moisture standard and packaging rules, but promised review if the first years prove harmful.
