Agriculture Minister Kim Chance said the Government planned to bring the Perth Market's current restrictive and out-dated operating framework into the modern era. The result would be a more transparent and flexible system ensuring fairness and opportunity for everyone in the market chain. Reform would be achieved in two stages. Firstly, there would be a review of remedial measures put in place last year by the previous Government, which many growers claimed had failed. This would be followed by an independent process leading to the drafting of a completely new legislative framework.
