'Massive blow to Queensland's dairy industry': Workers to lose jobs as Lactalis factory shuts

Lactalis Australia owns major brands Pauls, Ice Break, Vaalia and Breaka — iconic Australian products that date back to the 1930s.

Late this afternoon, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk posted on Twitter a letter she wrote to the company expressing her disappointment in the decision. She urged the company to"immediately review these decisions and continue to support Queensland dairy farmers and workers".Queensland Opposition agriculture spokesman Tony Perrett condemned the move by the French-owned food giant.

"The foreign company that the Palaszczuk Labor Government backed over a Queensland-owned business is now cutting and running from this state."

And this is a Labour governed state!? Why don’t we trust politicians? Jeez... Can’t imagine!

Queensland Government has to be joking .... really AnnastaciaMP Can you not manage anything

Bad behaviour by this company after getting awarded a tender by the state goverment weeks ago. Also bad behaviour by the state government for awarding the tender to them in the 1st place

AP, your a disgrace. They played you like a fiddle. Your hospitals will be supplied with overseas products while QLD farmers struggle and go to the wall. You should be ashamed of your naivety and ignorance.

Shit ! Again and again!

Just imagine if it was coal mine
