Importantly, Spiro implemented a range of agricultural levies and as business manager for the Levies Revenue Service in the Department of Agriculture facilitated the imposition of animal disease levies to protect Australian farmers from the cost of disease incursions.
Following the equine influenza outbreak in Australia in 2007, Spiro assisted the horse industry to find an appropriate medium commodity which could be used to levy the horse industry to meet the obligations of the disease response agreements.
Spiro was also instrumental in coordinating similar arrangements for the plant industry.
Spiro feels strongly about the way levies are imposed, collected and spent on behalf of farmers.
Spiro feels strongly about the way levies are imposed, collected and spent on behalf of farmers and continues to champion the cause of levy payers to achieve equitable outcomes from their levies.
Through the Agricultural Levies Institute of Australia, it is envisaged that the experience and knowledge gained in dealing with agricultural issues will assist Australian farmers in ensuring that farmers get the most from their levies.
In this way the Agricultural Levies Institute of Australia can be ‘Partners With Producers’.
"The levies Institute can also assist with your levy proposals to government".
"We can structure a proposal to government which can address the levies criteria such as market failure and other legislative requirements"
