This designation gives the WA Shippers Council legal authority to:\n- Bargain over freight rates for goods leaving Western Australia\n- Represent exporters in disputes with international shipping lines\n- Access legal protections available to designated shipper bodies\n\n**What changes**\n\nThis replaces any previous declarations about the same Council, ensuring only this current designation is legally valid.\n\n**In plain terms**: This is a formal 'stamp of approval' that lets the Council speak for WA exporters when dealing with international shipping companies."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3","history":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3/history","analysis":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/declaration-of-designated-outwards-secondary-shipper-body-2007-no-3/documents"}}
