House Standing Committee to hear from spirit industry

In Canberra on Wednesday, 5 June 2024, the House Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Resources will hear from peak industry bodies from the spirit and craft distilling sector as part of its inquiry into food and beverage manufacturing in Australia.

Committee Chair Rob Mitchell MP said: “The Australian spirits industry has seen immense growth over the past decade, with the number of Australian distilleries increasing significantly.

“The committee is interested to hear about the barriers the industry faces and what innovations are on the horizon to enable the Australian spirits industry to realise its full potential.”

The committee will conduct further public hearings between June and August 2024.
