Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Act directs the Wheat Prices Stabilization Fund to return the export charge collected on the 1950 wheat harvest, plus any investment earnings, to affected producers. The Australian Wheat Board will receive the funds and distribute them to growers of the 1950–51 season (crops harvested from 1 October 1950) as if they were sale proceeds. It effectively unwinds that specific levy and returns the accumulated money to the industry.
