B+LNZ Cattle Biosecurity Levy Consultation

* 1. Do you support Beef + Lamb New Zealand's proposal to:

• Raise the maximum biosecurity levy rate for cattle from $0.45 to $2 per head to pay our share of the costs of the M. bovis response;
• Introduce the ability to levy different classes of livestock at different rates; and
• Raise the maximum amount payable by sheep and beef farmers under GIA to $5 million per year.
