Proposal to increase contractor driver payments

Livestock SA wrote to ten South Australian Federal MPs and Senators to express its concern about the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal and the proposed minimum payments for contractor drivers. This included the risk that the price increases may force many smaller owner-operators out of the market, leading to fewer and more expensive options for movement of agricultural produce.
