As nutritional understanding evolves, Australians are ditching low-fat dairy products and returning to full cream, Dairy Australia sales data shows
Full fat milk is back in public favour. The dairy industry body Dairy Australia said Australians are switching from lower fat optionsFull cream milk is now dominating sales at 71% of the Australian milk market – a 10% jump in popularity over 10 years, according to the industry body’s latest supermarket sales data.
But these misconceptions around full fat dairy products “we now know are untrue,” said Jemma O’Hanlon, the vice-president of Dieticians Australia.“We know that regardless of the choice between dairy milks, the outcomes for our weight and heart health are not impacted. Australians are switching from skim to alternative milks for their coffee orders, but not in the supermarket aisles.“It is the rise of alternative milks that has meant less skim sales in cafes,” Mitchell Antman, the co-owner of One Another cafe in Sydney, said.
Dairy Australia is not worried about the growth of alternative milk options in cafes. Only 2% of Australians exclusively buy alternative milks from supermarkets, according to their data. She recommended shoppers check carton labels for products with at least 100mg of calcium per 100g, and warned that almond, oat and rice are lower-protein options.

Albanese is seeking to ‘diversify’ trade links for a ‘more secure’ economyAustralia is seeking to “deepen and diversify” its trade links as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travels to India with “one of the biggest and most significant” business delegations ever assembled in Australia. “By any measure, Australia is a better place because of our large, diverse and aspirational Indian-Australian community – the fastest growing group in Australia,” Mr Albanese said at a speech during the 2023 Business Summit on Tuesday. “In 2021-22, India was only Australia’s sixth largest goods and services trading partner … we can elevate that. “Our government is seeking to deepen and diversify Australia’s trade links, greater diversity in who we trade with and greater variety in what we trade.” Mr Albanese said this would mean the Australian economy would be “more resilient and more secure” with “one in four” Australian jobs relying on international trade as he expressed his determination to create more jobs in the export industry for the global expanse of Australian companies.

‘Most Australians don’t understand superannuation’: Cory BernardiSky News host Cory Bernardi says “most Australians don’t understand superannuation” and how the new superannuation tax by the Labor government affects them. “If given a long enough timeline, every single Australian will be affected by this for the simple reason that governments continue to de-base money, we’ve got inflation that’s growing which basically mean the value of money halves every ten or so years at the moment,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. “So we have a significant issue here and people are going – oh why does it matter, I can't understand having 3 million bucks in my super account so it doesn’t affect me.”
