This is the second year of operating under the Strategic Plan 2010–2015 and good progress has been made in delivering against the agreed strategies and objectives. The 2010–2011 financial year results in a planned deficit for the third consecutive year – which represents the last of the deficit years included in the current Strategic Plan. The deficit of $1,180,616 has been funded from Reserves and is part of the APL’s Reserve Policy which recognises the long-term nature of some key R&D and marketing expenditure and is designed to smooth out these investments over a longer period, particularly in periods of lower levy income. The level of reserves held at 30th June, 2011 is above the minimum level required. Consumption of fresh pork, on a per capita basis, has again shown steady growth. This has been helped by the consistency in message and execution of the various marketing campaigns. The results of the International PorkFest campaign in April, designed to stimulate consumer demand during the peak production period, has shown some good early promise. Domestic production volumes grew by around three per cent over 2009–2010 and selling prices have been more consistent, resulting in smaller seasonal fluctuations. Feed grain prices

  • An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, P
    F.O.O.D. (Fighting Order Over Disorder): An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Jane Frugtneit A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Humanities James Cook University August 2007 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to find a correlation between food as symbol and food as necessity, as represented in selected Australian novels by Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Food as a springboard to a unique interpretation of the selected novels has been under-utilised in academic research. Although comparatively few novels were selected for study, on the basis of fastidiousness, they facilitated a rigorous hermeneutical approach to the interpretation of food and its inherent symbolism. The principle behind the selection of these novels lies in the complexity of the prose and how that complexity elicits the “transformative powers of food” (Muncaster 1996, 31). The thesis examines both the literal and metaphorical representations of food in the novels and relates how food is an inextricable part of ALL aspects of life, both actual and fictional. Food sustains, nourishes and, intellectually, its many components offer unique interpretative tools for textual analysis. Indeed, the overarching structure of the thesis is analogous with the processes of eating, digestion and defecation. For example, following a discussion of the inextricable link between food, quest and freedom in Chapter One, which uncovers contrary attitudes towards food in the novels discussed, the thesis presents a more complex psychoanalytic theory of mental disorders related to food in Chapter Two.

  • 11 Supply Chain and Vertical Issues
    11 Supply chain and vertical issues 11.1 Introduction The first 10 chapters of this report focused on horizontal competition at the retail level. The remainder of the report focuses on supply chain issues and their impact on retail prices. Supply chain issues are relevant to the inquiry for three reasons: • if there is a lack of horizontal competition at any level of the supply chain, this weakness will flow through to consumers in the form of higher prices • if changes in prices at one level of the supply chain, are not reflective of higher costs, this could reflect market power at that level of the supply chain • buyer power in the supply chain can damage efficiency, by eroding investment and innovation in the upstream markets, resulting in a less competitive supply chain overall. To explore the first issue, it is necessary to examine some features of the various supply chains through which groceries pass. Issues such as the number of participants, the market share of those participants, how prices are set and the outside options available to participants are all relevant when considering whether there is effective competition throughout the supply chain. However, in the timeframe available the ACCC has not been able to investigate the potential market power of every manufacturer, processor and wholesaler for the many thousands of standard groceries. Accordingly, only a selection has been examined in detail in the next chapter. To explore the second issue, it is necessary to consider the relationship between prices in the supply chain, particularly the gap between wholesale and retail prices.

BANKS, Chairman TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS AT ADELAIDE ON MONDAY, 3 DECEMBER 2007, AT 9.12 AM Continued from 29/11/07 in Brisbane Pigmeat 206 pi031207.doc MR BANKS: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the public hearings for the Productivity Commission inquiry into safeguard action against imports of frozen pigmeat. I'm Gary Banks. I'm chairman of the commission and I'm presiding on this inquiry. The inquiry commenced on 17 October, when the now former Australian government agreed to initiate a safeguards inquiry according to the rules set out by the World Trade Organisation. These rules have been laid out for interested parties in the inquiry issues paper which was distributed on 23 October and can be downloaded from the commission's web site. Specifically, the commission, as Australia's designated competent authority to conduct such inquiries, has been asked to inquire into whether safeguard action is justified against imports of "meat of swine, frozen, falling within tariff subheading 0203.29". Specifically, the commission has been asked to report on - and I quote from the terms of reference: • whether conditions are such that safeguard actions would be justified under the WTO agreements; • if so, what measures would be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment; and • whether, having regard to the government's requirements for assessing the impact of regulation which affects business, those measures should be implemented.
