Wilmar Sugar
OrganisationReferenced in 2 bills
Sugar Industry (Application of Transitional Provision) Amendment Bill 2017
This bill aimed to give Burdekin cane growers supplying Wilmar Sugar another year under their existing supply contracts. It would have delayed new sugar marketing rules from applying until 1 July 2018 so Wilmar and Queensland Sugar Limited (QSL) had more time to finalise their on-supply deal. The bill was introduced by Mr Steve Dickson MP as a private member's bill and was later withdrawn, so it did not become law.
Liquid Fuel Supply (Minimum Biobased Petrol Content) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill sought to strengthen Queensland's ethanol mandate, which has never been met since it was introduced in 2017. It would have doubled penalties for fuel retailers not selling enough ethanol-blended petrol and required that E10 fuel contain at least 9% ethanol rather than the federally permitted minimum of just 1%. The bill was defeated at second reading and did not become law.
