Seymour Crawford
Question:276 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties meat export plants are encountering in securing adequate numbers of cattle to supply hard won market outlets because of the hold up in cattle numbers from the way in which the special beef premium is operated by his Department; and if his Department will introduce an all year round open-ended application period for special beef premium to alleviate and prevent a recurrence of this problem.
