Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Act amends the Wheat Research Act 1957 to require revenue collected under the Wheat Tax Act 1979 to be paid into the Wheat Research Account, and to require the Australian Wheat Board to keep state-by-state records of tax receipts. The Minister must now table an annual report by 31 December covering the previous financial year (the first report covers 1 Jan 1979–30 Jun 1980).

It affects wheat growers (tax payers), the AWB, the responsible Minister, and recipients of wheat research grants by improving funding flows and transparency.
