Sugar Industry (Arbitration for Mill Owners and Sugar Marketing Entities) Amendment Bill 2017

This bill sought to amend the Sugar Industry Act 1999 to require mandatory arbitration when sugar mill owners and sugar marketing entities cannot agree on 'on-supply' contracts for selling a grower's share of sugar. It aimed to give cane growers a genuine choice over who markets their sugar and ensure contracts are finalised before each crushing season. The bill failed at its third reading and did not become law.
