🚜 The extension of Right to Repair reforms to cover agricultural machinery has been welcomed by farmers as a game-changer that will deliver fairness, competition, lower costs and productivity gains across the farm sector. The Albanese Government's decision will give farmers the choice about who repairs their equipment and independent repairers the information they need to compete, keeping valuable equipment in the paddock, and strengthening local skills and regional economies. According to Productivity Commission estimates, expanding Right to Repair to agriculture could lift annual GDP by $97 million through increased grain outputs alone, simply by reducing downtime during harvest. 📈 #auspol #righttorepair #agriculture #ausag @JulieCollinsMP @ALeighMP @AustralianLabor
