sbiddle: That's actually a very one sided opiniionated view of the proposed law, which the Government did announced in September would have some aspects reviewed. Having spent a lot of time looking at this bill early on I'll actually make a pretty bold comment and say I suspect you have not read the full bill, and actually have very little idea what it actually covers.
sbiddle: Many aspects of the law are logical - why for example should you as a small scale food producer, say at a local market, not be subject to the same food safety regulations that a supermarket next door is subject to?
gzt: But here is the bit I don't yet understand - as far as I am aware (and I accept I may be wrong) existing health regulations already cover small scale production for sale and distribution. That being the case, what exactly is the need for the new legislation?
