Abstract

This Act provides for a company to be declared as the industry services body for the Australian horticultural industry and a company to be declared as the industry export control body. In addition it provides for the industry services body to receive funding from the Commonwealth (Part 3). It also requires the industry services body and the industry export control body to act in accordance with an agreement ("deed"), which imposes obligations on the body and contains details about the body's accountability to the Commonwealth. The Act and the deed provide consequences for breach of the deed. These include ceasing to be declared (sect. 10), being subject to an injunction (sect. 27) or, in the case of the industry services body, suspension or recovery of funding (sect. 16). The text of the deed is not included in the Act but it is publicly available (sect. 14). Horticultural industry means any industry carried on in Australia in connection with: (a) producing horticultural products by growing, harvesting or processing horticultural products; or (b) marketing and any other handling, storing, transporting, processing or supplying of horticultural products.
