Australian media (including ABC News and The Age) are reporting that a group of US farmers have commenced action in the US against AWB.
I have not been able to find the originating proceedings online but the media reports say that the action is a class action under The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act accusing the wheat exporter of engaging in racketeering, money laundering, fraud and bribery.
According to the reports, a Kansas wheat farmer, Veryl Switzer, 78, is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit - filed in Washington at the weekend - which claims AWB's conduct in Iraq and other countries breached US laws and damaged the interests of up to 20,000 US farmers.
UPDATE 12 July: here's the Class Action Complaint via Sox First.
