Members will be aware that QDO has been discussing ways to unite with other dairy groups with a view to advocating for better outcomes for dairy farmers in Queensland and NSW. I am pleased to advise members that the board of QDO met with representatives of the board and farmers' group of Dairy Connect in Brisbane on June 1. The outcome of the meeting was that both organisations have agreed to continue discussions about joining forces so as to better represent the needs of dairy farmers in NSW and Queensland and to be more effective in our advocacy work.
