The $0.06 per tonne rate represents the outcome of consultations between the Minister and sugar industry organisations, balancing industry capacity against funding needs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations","history":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/sugar-cane-levy-regulations/documents"}}
