Spotlight on wine industry in Margaret River

THE Margaret River wine region will be put under the spotlight as part of a senate inquiry into the Australian wine sector. The inquiry will examine the costing and potential rebate for Australian wine.
WA senator Dean Smith co-sponsored the motion after seeing the demand for WA wine to be exported to China. The focus of the inquiry will be on the impact of free trade agreements, the Wine Equalisation Tax rebate and production costs.
