With reference to the Dairy Australia report Australian Dairy 04.1 p. 3, which provides a graph of the total factor productivity on Australian dairy farms:
(1) Is this data available on a state-by-state basis; if so, can the figures for total factor productivity for dairy farms, state-by-state, from 1982 be provided.
(2) What specific research has been undertaken by Dairy Australia or other Government-funded bodies in relation to the employment levels in the Australian dairy industry over this period.
(3) Can details be provided on a state-by-state basis of employment data in the Australian dairy industry from 1982; if not, why not.
Senator Abetz (Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation)
