'No way': Finance Minister Willis opposed to proposed changes for infant formula laws

The Government is strongly opposing proposed changes to infant formula laws.

Minister from Australia and New Zealand will meet this week to discuss a 400-page proposal, which would overhaul baby formula regulation - including labelling laws.

Some groups fear it would cause plain-packaging and cripple New Zealand's exports.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis says the impacts would be too severe.

"There is no way that we can support a provision which would wipe potentially $2 billion of export revenue away."
