Sophia Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 This part of the report is the most concerning: the single fruit fly caused a 'spat' :nilly: The single male Queensland fruit fly found in Avondale in May cost taxpayers $1.5 million before officials found no evidence of others in the area. It also led to a verbal spat between Horticulture New Zealand and Primary Industries Minister David Carter about the nation's biosecurity system.

F15hguy Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 heard that biosecurity only inspects less than 1% of all shipments into NZ, fair enough that they cant check everything, but seriously, 1% is about as useful as not checking at all, and a hell of a lot more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
