Kevin Hogan welcomes end of $1 milk

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan has welcomed the announcement that Coles and Aldi will stop selling $1 a litre milk.

“I applaud this decision and the work done by Agriculture Minister David Littleproud in breaking the back of the $1 a litre milk model,” he said.

“It’s time farmers received a fair reward for their effort.

“More work needs to be done to help our dairy farmers but this is a very good first step.

“I will continue to lobby my colleagues to support my call for a Royal Commission into the alleged market abuse by the large Supermarkets.

“There is still a power imbalance in the sector that needs to be addressed.”
