I established the Beef Taskforce to monitor the implementation of the beef sector agreement of 15 September.

The Taskforce is comprised of the Independent chair, Michael Dowling, representatives from my Department and relevant State agencies, farmer representative organisations and representatives from the processing sector.

I am satisfied that the current composition of the taskforce is sufficiently representative of all parties and I will not be extending membership to any additional groups outside of those already invited to submit nominees.
