The Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) Board met today to examine a concern over potential prejudicial conduct of ADF member, South Australian Dairyfarmers Association (SADA).
Directors and Constituent Members examined information that was circulated to all Board members in early July and deliberated whether SADA’s conduct caused injury, harm or loss to ADF.
Since the concern was raised in May 2012, SADA has been given every opportunity to respond to the concerns in person or in writing and declined to attend today’s meeting.
After careful consideration, the ADF Board resolved by an absolute majority that SADA did engage in conduct prejudicial to ADF and that they be removed immediately as a member.
It is ADF’s role to provide strong leadership and collective representation for all dairy farmers and so will continue to consult with all state dairy organisations for feedback and input and this will be reflected in our program of work. ADF will continue to work for the collective benefit of farmers regardless of whether individuals or state organisations are signed up members.
