Amends the

Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act 1997
and
Primary Industries (Excise) Levies Act 1999
to: replace the voluntary marketing and research contributions system for the red meat processor industry with a statutory levy on the slaughter of cattle, sheep and goats; allow bodies other than declared bodies to receive levy funds for research and development; and permit disaggregated levy payer information to be provided to the red meat processor industry.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
