Secret conference ends with price talks on butter in Australia
A private meeting lasting from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. gathered over 150 representatives to discuss butter price difficulties in New South Wales and Queensland. The group planned further approaches to state premiers, rejected a campaign to deliberately break laws, and debated exporting butter if prices could not improve. Delegates anticipated presenting views to Premier McGirr and formed a plan to press producers’ concerns via advertising while caucus hesitated on price increases. The discussion opened with a push toward a 3/14 lb target and included comments on government subsidies and realistic pricing.
