WHEAT MARKETING AMENDMENT ACT 1982 NO. 150 OF 1982 - SECT 11

11. Section 26 of the Principal Act is amended by adding at the end thereof
the following sub-sections:

''(8) The price for Australian standard white wheat in bulk, being wheat of
a season sold free on rail at a port of export before the final purchasing day
for that season to a person who has delivered wheat of that season to the
Board for a stock-feed use by the person in Australia, is the price determined
from time to time by the Board to be an equitable price in respect of the sale
of wheat of that season to the person in respect of that stock-feed use, being
a price that is not less than the price per tonne paid to the person by the
Board under sub-section 21 (1) for wheat of that season increased or decreased
by such allowances as the Board considers proper for-

   (a)  the costs incurred by the Board in the handling and storage of that
        wheat before it is sold to the person;

   (b)  any costs incurred by the Board in delivering that wheat to the
        person; and

   (c)  other necessary adjustments.

''(9) The Board may, in determining a price in respect of the sale of wheat
of a season under sub-section (8) to a person who has delivered wheat of that
season to the Board, make allowances for the quality of the wheat sold to the
person under that sub-section compared to the quality of the wheat of that
season delivered by the person to the Board.

''(10) For the purposes of sub-section (8), wheat shall be taken to be sold to
a person for a stock-feed use by that person if it is sold to that person for
a stock-feed use-

   (a)  by that person at the farm at which the wheat of that season that was
        delivered to the Board by that person was harvested; or

   (b)  by that person or by another person at an associated farm approved by
        the Board.

''(11) The Board shall not sell to a person under sub-section (8) a total
amount of wheat of a season that is greater than the total amount of wheat of
that season delivered to the Board by that person.

''(12) In this section-

'associated farm' has the same meaning as in section 18;

'final purchasing day', in relation to a season, means-

   (a)  the day declared by the Minister under sub-section 25 (1) to be the
        final delivery day for that season; or

   (b)  such other day (whether or not during that season) as the Minister, by
        notice in the Gazette, determines;

'season' does not include the season commencing on 1 October 1984 or the next
succeeding season.''.
