Labor will introduce their new Biosecurity Protection Levy from 1 July 2024. This absurd levy will charge Australian primary producers $50 million per year to pay for the biosecurity costs of importers. Under this legislation farmers and fishers from my electorate of Durack will be forced to cover the risks imposed by their foreign competitors. This is just another stab in the guts for struggling producers and will no doubt adversely affect regional Western Australia.
