By setting this to zero, the regulation effectively eliminates mandatory contributions to the body. This was part of broader reforms to deregulate the wool industry and wind down statutory marketing arrangements.\n\n**Who is affected:** Primarily wool growers and Wool International itself, as it removed a key funding mechanism for the organisation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f1996b01189","history":"/api/acts/f1996b01189/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f1996b01189/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f1996b01189/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f1996b01189/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f1996b01189/documents"}}
