Australia Wool Council rejects government control plan
The Australian Wool Council in Melbourne stated it does not intend to seek government control of the wool scheme. If 75 percent of growers vote in favor, the council would approach possible control by growers, finance officials, and bank representatives. Banks see funding challenges, and permits for shipment abroad may be issued if markets abroad yield better results. The council favors a flexible percentage cap over a fixed maximum. Growers’ stance remains unaffected by the scheme.
