In relation to the ACCC proceeding against MG in the Federal Court of Australia, Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited (MG) has agreed a settlement in principle with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) where the settlement is subject to federal court approval.

MG and former Managing Director Mr. Gary Helou contravened the Australian Consumer Law in the period 29 February 2016 to 27 April 2016. The ACCC will apply to the Federal Court seeking declarations in relation to representations made regarding the FY16 farmgate milk price. Â
