Speaking on the re-appointment, Dossor, group general manager of Result Group, said he is humbled to get the nod as co-chair and is looking forward to continuing all their work, which he says “has only really just begun”. 

“Still lots to achieve for the development of traceability solutions in this country. It’s a big market for all solution providers, with an incredible globally recognised skillset and the ability to put the region ‘on the map’ in this space,” he said.

Greg Calvert, co-founder of FreshChain Systems, thanked everyone for their support and said is excited to push forward with the next phase of their work.

“We will continue our work with industry to make the pathway for digital adoption easier to navigate,” Calvert said.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
