WINE
INDUSTRY CELLAR DOOR REBATE
766. Hon SALLY TALBOT to the
Minister for Racing and Gaming:
I refer to the removal of the wine
industry cellar door rebate.
(1) Considering
that no industry input was sought by government and no modelling was done on
the impact on employment and business viability in the industry, is the
minister prepared to provide a 12-month moratorium on the removal of the wine
industry cellar door rebate?
(2) If no to (1), why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) No.
(2) It was a decision taken as part
of the 2015–16 budget.
