There are risks of costly legal review and diluting intended benefits to Fonterra by removing open entry. To remove these risks but still reflect the intent of the committee's proposal, I intend to introduce a Supplementary Order Paper. This paper will remove the requirement for Fonterra to accept applications from first-time farmers and will instead give Fonterra a clear direction that it must, when considering applications, consider the ongoing viability of a dairy farm when a new applicant applies after a Fonterra farm has changed hands, and also that they have regard to the land-use opportunities available to that applicant. I consider that this strikes the right balance between giving Fonterra more control over capacity, and also manages risks to the overall future of the dairy industry, while giving farmers the opportunity to make decisions about land use for the benefit of their farm business and the economy as a whole.
