Dairy Herd Improvement Regulatory Review
• LIC submitted on the Dairy Herd Improvement Regulatory Review in support of the
current model, which balances access to core data and the promotion of industry
innovation in data collection, analytics and use.
• LIC has since reiterated its concerns that wholesale change could stifle innovation
and discourage vital long-term research.
• The Government wants to understand the implications of the wider range of issues
raised and is consulting further with the industry.
• We expect greater clarity on next steps in 2020.
Legislation
• LIC is still waiting on Government’s changes to the DIRA legislation that will
unshackle LIC and leave decisions on the co-op’s future to its shareholders.

Our Strategic Roadmap
Outlook
We expect underlying earnings to increase to $21-25 million in 2019-20,
assuming no significant climate event or milk price drop takes place
between now and then nor any major impacts from biosecurity threats
such as M. bovis.
We have to make sure that in the data-driven future of global dairy, LIC
and our farmers are in a position to be the disruptors, not the disrupted.
That takes financial strength, high-performance and a clear focus on
the innovations needed to keep our farmers ahead of the game.
