That this House: (1) notes with concern the impact on the Dairy Industry of the Coles milk pricing strategy and that: (a) dairy farmers around the country are today seriously questioning their future
having suffered through one of the worst decades in memory including droughts, floods, price cuts and rising cost of inputs such as energy and feed; (b) unsustainable retail milk prices will, over
time, compel processors to renegotiate contracts with dairy farmers and the prospect that these contracts will be below the cost of production may force many to
leave the industry; (c) the fact that supermarkets are now selling milk cheaper than many varieties of bottled water will be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back for many dairy farmers; and (
d) the risk of other potential impacts includes: (i) decreased competition as name brands are forced from the shelves; and (ii) the possible loss of fresh milk supplies to some parts of the country as local fresh milk industries become unviable; and (2) calls on the Government to: (a) ask the ACCC to immediately examine the big supermarkets and milk wholesalers after

have retired honorably while fans like me still
had admiration for the man...... WENGER go to.......................
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and play said blue chippers, (like the 90s Arsenal or clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes
leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan teams... next step after that is being known as a «seller», which could be us already if and when Sanchez
leaves... there are only two teams that
have worn this moniker in
recent times and
had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which only occurred when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's
time to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night

players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when
times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who
have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally
have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that
have those skills that
would most likely bring the best of these players success
would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple
Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club
has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his
time here he
has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London,
recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic
would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could
have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising...

In
recent years you
would have expected Arsenal to sell instead of risking a player
leave on a free transfer but this
time Wenger seems to be more bothered about getting the best from Alexis to push the Gunners close to the EPL title or at the very least back into the Champions League.
The 19 - year - old
left - back is a superb prospect in French football, and
has attracted attention from Arsenal and Sunderland in
recent times, though Juventus now look to be the favourites to land this up - and - coming talent.
Luckily for United, Pedro seems to be a quality replacement who is available in this transfer window, with the Express reporting that Barca boss Luis Enrique understands the Spaniard's desire to
leave the Nou Camp in pursuit of more regular first - team football, with the wide - man
having fallen behind the likes of Neymar and Luis Suarez in the pecking order in
recent times.
It seems unlikely that the Red Devils
would let an exciting homegrown youngster like Rashford
leave for a rival too easily, but he
has found opportunities harder to come by in
recent times.
Galatasaray star Lukas Podolski
left Arsenal last season but he
has clearly not forgotten about his
time in North London if one of his
recent tweet is anything to go by.
But we
've also seen him use a 4 -2-3-1 formation at
times in
recent weeks, thus the chance that Allegri could very well just go with Blaise Matuidi and Sami Khedira in the center of the park and
leave us all to pray to the high heavens that Juve don't get absolutely killed in the process.
The situation for Levy was that he
had seen Ryan Mason, Nacer Chadli and Nabil Bentaleb
leave the club on either a temporary or permanent basis n
recent times, losing some of the squad depth that will prove key in the season ahead, and needed somebody to fill the gap.
This weekend's performance came at a good
time for Alli, as he

left out of the starting eleven in both of England's
recent friendlies.
The Baggies
have recent Premier League experience, sure, but that experience didn't stand them in good stead — it was naivety which cost them dearly
time and again last season, Tony Mowbray
left rueing a points total which bore no reflection to the quality of their football.
Marcus Rashford, although out of form recently,
has also found the majority of his game
time on the
left wing in
recent seasons, and regularly using Sánchez in this position
would put a further obstacle in the young Englishman's path to regular action.
With the
recent claims by the player's agent suggesting that he did not
leave the club this summer, as he wanted to win titles with them, it seems that the Blues will
have to wait for some more
time before they can get their target.
Indeed,
having been redeployed as a very untraditional
left - sided forward in
recent times, Mario Mandzukic may not carry the same goal threat he once did, but he's still a big part of Allegri's approach.
Arsene Wenger
has come under a lot of criticism in
recent times from the fans following another disappointing campaign and the supporters are looking to pressurize the Frenchman to
leave the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season by organizing protest marches, unfurling banners during games and even flying planes over stadiums with anti-Wenger messages.
