New Laws to Serve Up More Free Food

"The Attorney-General Michael Atkinson says he’s confident that new laws to protect food donors from legal threats will see more free food flow to South Australian charities. “In the season of giving, it’s important that businesses and individuals help the less fortunate. With the world financial crisis looming and Christmas upon us, many families are in need of generosity,” he said. “In the past, potential donors have shied away from giving fresh or preserved food to the needy, because they feared civil action if those products later caused illness,” Mr Atkinson said."
