Labor's push for floor price milk viewed 'as a hoax': Nationals MP | Sky News AustraliaNationals MP Andrew Gee says he and his colleagues viewed Labor's bid to set a mandatory minimum price for milk 'as a hoax'. \n\nLabor tried to force a vote requiring the competition watchdog to investigate setting a minimum price on milk, but it was voted down on Wednesday.\n\nOpposition agriculture spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon wanted the ACCC to test how a minimum farm gate milk price would work to protect the struggling dairy industry.\n\n\n\n\n\n There should have been a govt response before many dairy farmers folded.

I had to do an IQ test for a job. This is something you supposedly can't study for but I did about 20 hours practice over a month on IQ tests, ended up with some crazy high score (they even commemted) & got it. Practice & effort works. But I would never do that to my kids.
