DAIRY POLICY FOR AUSTRALIA

DAIRY POLICY FOR AUSTRALIA HENRY P. SCHAPPER University of Western Australia It was not until 1959 when the Commonwealth Government set up a Dairy Industry Committee " to enquire into and report upon the Aus- tralian dairying industry ; its conditions, structure and problems ; and to make recommendations . . ." that Australia-wide economic studies were made of the whole industry. The enquiry became the signal for all sections of the industry-manufacturing as well as farming, to examine themselves and each other and to be studied by economists more intensively than ever before. An outcome of these studies was the presentation of new facts and new ideas which have set the stage for new economic policy on dairying by the Commonwealth Government. The Government has yet to declare itself and to act. To the Committee of Enquiry there were presented three important and fairly distinct economic analyses of dairying, each with a set of recommendations.

Abstract

HENRY P. SCHAPPER University of Western Australia It was not until 1959 when the Commonwealth Government set up a Dairy Industry Committee " to enquire into and report upon the Aus- tralian dairying industry ; its conditions, structure and problems ; and to make recommendations . . ." that Australia-wide economic studies were made of the whole industry. The enquiry became the signal for all sections of the industry-manufacturing as well as farming, to examine themselves and each other and to be studied by economists more intensively than ever before. An outcome of these studies was the presentation of new facts and new ideas which have set the stage for new economic policy on dairying by the Commonwealth Government. The Government has yet to declare itself and to act. To the Committee of Enquiry there were presented three important and fairly distinct economic analyses of dairying, each with a set of recommendations. Particular recommendations between sets were similar, but each set in toto contained different implications for dairy farmers and the economy. It is the purpose of this article to describe the more important economic characteristics of dairying in Australia and to review the analyses and recommendations made. From
