The Silo law hits the Assembly

I’d like to think she read my comment yesterday but I won’t hold my breath:
“Hurry up Gallagher and make the name of this business and others who receive notices public.”

In any case, I’d like to see absolutely any business issued with a warning or notice to be named, like in NSW where they have a dual register of those convicted and those notified. I think the ACT proposal will fall short in only naming those who are convicted.

In NSW, a lot of big name chains appear on the register for minor incursions, but given the number of customers, even those minor incursions have significant potential for harm.

Hang on… are you telling me that having “suitably trained food safety supervisors at premises” isn’t currently a requirement?

Ewwwww!

“Finally, the Bill proposes an amendment that will allow the names of food businesses convicted of an offence against the Food Act to be placed on a publicly available register.”

When did publicising the names of convicted businesses stop anyway? I remember decades ago reading in the paper that a specific local restaurant was in trouble for having a broken flyscreen door at the back of the kitchen.

Sad that it took people ending up in hospital for the government to decide they need to make some progress with an issue that has been around for a while.
