Sustainable Queensland Dairy Production (Fair Milk Price Logos) Bill 2016

This bill proposed a voluntary 'fair milk price logo' for fresh milk sold in Queensland, showing consumers that the farmer who produced the milk had been paid a fair price set by the government for their region. It was introduced by Katter's Australian Party MP Shane Knuth in response to the decline of Queensland dairy farming following supermarket $1-a-litre milk pricing. The bill failed at second reading and did not become law.
