This Act authorises Australia to accept and sign the 1965 Protocol that extends the International Wheat Agreement of 1962 for one year, keeping Australia bound by its wheat-trade rules. It affects wheat farmers, exporters and the Australian Wheat Board, and matters because it preserves continuity in international wheat trading arrangements and Australia’s role in grain negotiations.
