Actually, the State government of New South Wales in Australia used to have a Dairy Board that set prices for milk production. It was quite good, milk prices were kept quite reasonable and it stopped excessive production but allowed for it. It was stopped by the Carr giverment in the mid 1990s.<p>Now there are concerns that dairy farmers are being completely screwed by big dairy companies. It hasn&#x27;t been a good thing! The Carr government is also the government who brought in public-private partnerships and closed the quarantine service in Paramatta.
