(1) This clause sets out a policy objective for the DSAP scheme.
(2) The objective is that the total face value of payment rights granted to an entity in respect of a particular dairy farm enterprise must not exceed $350,000 unless a person who, under the scheme, is taken to be a qualified financial adviser certifies in writing that, to the best of the adviser’s knowledge and belief:

(b) the entity passes the 70% dairy income test.
70% dairy income test
(3) For the purposes of this clause, an entity passes the 70% dairy income test if, and only if:

(a) an eligible dairy cooperative; or
(b) an eligible dairy company;
is issued to a shareholder in the cooperative or company in lieu of a particular payment for the sale of market milk or manufacturing milk:
