You might be banned from doing so if this comes into play

It looks as if it's targetting people that grow their own and sell them on but i'm not 100% sure.

If that is the case and we're barred from growing our own home products, then another mind baffling decision made to rip off people trying to save money. Long live forking out $8.99 for some tomatoes in winter

No it's only regulating it if you sell it.

You can carry on growing your own food! Whether you can put an honesty box at the end of the drive to sell your excess produce is the question. I'm not sure of the answer.

The article is not saying you can't grow your own produce, Tom. It is saying you can't sell it on. Whilst this is totally ridiculous how would this new law ever work? How will the right people ever know I've sold some tomatoes to Mr Coggins over the road? Fair enough for home-growers who sell on market stalls or have stands at the end of their gardens where it is more obvious, but to your standard home-grower like you and I nothing changes.

It will impact in more ways than selling on your own produce.

What happened about this anyway as that was back in 2011.

Public amendment submissions closed in August 2013. Also the minister has called for further amendments. Report due back in May this year. My sister and a couple of other friends have been a bit vocal about it in occasional emails.
