Good try Scotty!
Howard never regulated the milk market it was
already regulated by the states.
In the late 1990s the Victorian dairy industry
pushed for DEREGULATION and the other
states followed suit as they knew once Victoria
DEREGULATED their milk market they would
become uncompetitive.
It ultimately allowed dairies to be able to sell
more milk but pushed smaller dairies out of the
industry.
John Howard’s government actually supplied
subsidies to dairy farmers to help them transition
out of the industry. Milk was subsidised at 11
cents a litre costing around 2 billion dollars over
the life of the subsidies.

Howard regulated the dairy industry = BS!

yes that was the cataclysm that hit our dairy farmers. Howard regulated many families out of business.

cappie there are always many different ways to describe such events. it often depends on your source..... and your preference and beliefs.
