- "Securing an Australian Food Industry for the Future
- 
- The Australian Food Manufacturing Industry is in a precarious position.
- The
- buying habits of larger retailers assisted by inadequate labelling laws
- for
- packaged foods is having a dramatic effect on farmers, food manufactures
- and
- the rural communities in which they are based.
- 
- Our aim is to achieve the following:
-   * Insist on clear country of origin labelling laws for packaged foods
-   * Ensure imported foods meet the same standards as Australian foods
-   * Ensure large companies place the needs of Australian communities equally with their right to generate profits.
-   * Make Australian Governments at all levels take appropriate action to ensure Australia retains a viable Horticultural sector and food processing industry.
- 
- The Road Show left Devonport on Sunday the 17th July and have held major
- rallies in Melbourne, Ballarat, Shepparton, Echuca, Mildura Griffith,
- Bathurst and Sydney, culminating in a major rally in Canberra.
