Block the Biosecurity Tax

More than 50 agricultural producer representative groups have unified to send a powerful, collective message to the Federal Government about their strong opposition to the proposed biosecurity tax.

These groups represent tens of thousands of Australian agricultural producers across the full spectrum of farm commodities including grains, livestock, horticulture, dairy, forestry, seafood, etc. who are deeply concerned about the consequences of this flawed proposal.

A joint letter was sent to the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, in late 2023, calling for an immediate and urgent reversal of the fundamentally flawed tax on producers that’s due to be implemented by 1 July 2024.

This has launched the start of a new campaign supported by these groups. Our aim is to try to stop this proposal which, in its current form, is grossly unfair and fundamentally flawed.

Financial contributions will help strengthen the voice of producers and representative groups with vital campaign resources, with the proposed legislation set to be debated and voted-on, in Federal Parliament, in the first half of 2024.
