Abstract

The Australian Wheat Board that existed under this Act immediately before the commencement of this section continues in existence as the Wheat Export Authority. The Authority is a body corporate with perpetual succession. The Authority has the following functions: (a) to control the export of wheat from Australia; (b) to monitor nominated company B's performance in relation to the export of wheat and examine and report on the benefits to growers that result from that performance. Nominated company B means a company that was nominated company B for the purposes of the repealed Part 3A. In performing its function of controlling the export of wheat from Australia, the Authority must seek to complement any objective of nominated company B to maximise net returns for pools operated by that company, while at the same time seeking to facilitate the development of niche and other markets where the Authority considers that this may benefit both growers and the wider community. A person shall not export wheat unless: (a) the Authority has given its written consent to the export of the wheat; and (b) the export of the wheat is in accordance with the terms of that consent (sect. 57).
