Butter Substitutes Face Federal and State Action
The Assistant Minister for Commerce Mr H V Thorby said both governments aim to bar butter substitutes from being paid as butter to shield the dairying industry from unfair competition. An excise duty on substitutes with imported fat and oil was under consideration. A 1935 proposal led to talks with the dairy industry and the Australian Agricultural Council. The Victoria government initially kept saffron color for substitutes, but advisers urged allowing white or saffron. A Tariff Board inquiry on lard and edible fats was to follow, with evidence collected to study dairy-substitute relations.
