25.01.2022 This traveller arrived at Melbourne international airport in 2019 prepared for a pignic Luckily detector dog Lido was on the case, sniffing out a whole cooked... duck , an apple and a kilo of home-cooked pig’s feet Undetected, these items could have serious implications for our agriculture industry and environment - meat products can carry diseases including African swine fever, and fresh produce such as apples can carry diseases and pests like fruit fly and fire blight. The passenger was given an infringement notice and the goods were destroyed. Protecting Australia is at our core and we don’t accept apple-ogies. Sow don't go bacon our heart Please don’t bring home the bacon and if you’re not sure, don’t be sorry - just declare it!

25.01.2022 A new case of suspected Panama disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4) has been detected in Far North Queensland. During routine surveillance activities our biosec...urity officers have detected a new suspected case of Panama disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4) on a Tully Valley farm. Panama TR4 is a serious fungal disease of bananas that is not eradicable and can survive in the soil for decades. It is easily spread through infected banana plant material and contaminated soil and water. People, machinery and animals can spread the disease. While an initial sample from a suspect banana plant has returned positive to a preliminary test for Panama TR4, further diagnostic testing is required before a conclusive result can be known. This can take up to four weeks. We have notified the affected grower of this initial test result and we will work closely with them to support their needs to meet the biosecurity requirements they have to adhere to in order to prevent further spread of the disease. We will also continue to work closely with the Australian Banana Growers’ Council to protect the wider industry. If this new suspected case is confirmed it will be only the fourth case in Queensland since the disease was first detected in the state in 2015. On-farm biosecurity is the best way to protect a farm from #PanamaTR4 as well as reporting any sick plants immediately to 13 25 23.

24.01.2022 East Timor has become the latest Asian country to be hit with African swine fever, following China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, North Korea, South Korea, Laos,... Myanmar and the Philippines. ASF is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs. Australia is currently free of ASF but meat products containing these pathogens may be illegally imported into Australia undetected by quarantine. Feeding food scraps ‘swill’ that has been in contact with these products may lead to serious diseases in pigs including foot and mouth disease and African and classical swine fevers. Banning the feeding of prohibited food waste to pigs and ruminants provides an important defence against these and other serious livestock diseases to Australia.

22.01.2022 2020 is the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH)! Officially launched by the Food and Agriculture Organisation on 2 December 2019 in Rome, the IYPH is havi...ng a second launch in New York City today! Why focus on plant health? Because plant pests and diseases have the greatest impact on crops, the health of our environment and our way of life. So in 2020, the IYPH aims to mobilise governments, industries, organisations, scientists and the public to: work together to protect the world’s plants against the spread of devastating pests encourage scientific innovation to address pest threats promote responsible practices that reduce pest spread, and increase public and private sector support for more sustainable plant health strategies and services. There are lots of events being held throughout the world in 2020 to bring attention to plant health. Find our more here: http://www.fao.org/plant-health-2020/home/en/

22.01.2022 Not very good news for the environment and native species. https://mobile.abc.net.au//rogue-siamese-fightin/11277180

17.01.2022 Be on the lookout for the tropical exotic black scar oyster, as it's recently been detected in three Far North Queensland locations: Cairns, Port Douglas and Co...oktown. The oyster is difficult to distinguish from their native counterparts until they reach their distinctive larger size (up to 18cm in length). This marine pest fouls submerged and floating infrastructure including pylons, pontoons and boats with the ability to occupy disturbed habitats including shallow sub-tidal sites. We're investigating the extent of the incursions, which may inform future control, monitoring or treatment measures. Little is known about this pest and its potential impacts, but it's important to minimise its spread throughout Queensland’s waterways. Boat owners are urged to maintain regular maintenance and cleaning of their vessels to prevent spread. If you suspect black scar oyster, please call 13 25 23.

15.01.2022 Probably about due for a Friday funny.

15.01.2022 Always a good idea to keep an eye out for these. The big ones stand out (that’s my hand in the photo - this was at Currumbin on Queensland’s Gold Coast many years ago) but the smaller ones are harder to spot

14.01.2022 - Outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) have caused the culling of up to a third of the pork livestock in places (like China) wher...e the disease is running rampant. U.S. scientists and agencies are working on a vaccine, and preparing for when and if it reaches the U.S. >>In the meantime, the United States Department of Agriculture is rushing to formulate a plan to keep ASF from wreaking havoc on the U.S. pork supply. And that means teaching veterinarians all over the country how to identify pigs with the disease. Earlier this summer, roughly 30 or so gathered on Plum Island to train for the task. They were prepping for a pork-pocalypse, and it started with a necropsy.<< ~rce via The New Food Economy's email.

12.01.2022 It's Friday :-) Time for an important community announcement.

11.01.2022 Fifth case of Panama TR4 confirmed in Far North Queensland A banana plant sample taken from a Tully Valley property in August has tested positive for Panam...a disease tropical race 4 (Panama TR4). A final test has confirmed last month’s preliminary positive result. Our surveillance team found the infected plant during a routine check of the property. We've been working closely with the grower to support meeting the set of strict biosecurity measures required to limit disease spread. The grower’s existing on-farm biosecurity measures will make it easier to meet these requirements. This is the 5th detection of Panama TR4 since it was first found in Queensland in 2015. All 5 properties are in the Tully Valley, in close proximity. Panama TR4 is a soil-borne fungus that is a serious threat to Australia’s $580 million a year banana industry. It’s easily spread, can live in soil for decades, and can’t be eradicated. People, machinery and animals can spread the disease, but strong on-farm biosecurity and regular surveillance are the best ways to limit further spread.

09.01.2022 Fantastic news.

09.01.2022 Sad news. In my opinion the best primary industries minister Queensland has ever had and the architect of modern biosecurity legislation. Also a fantastic guy and someone I will always consider as a friend. Rest In Peace Tim. https://www.abc.net.au//former-queensland-labor-/12636012

05.01.2022 Great to see VISA cancellation as an excellent new tool to help address this.

05.01.2022 Definitely don’t want it here.

02.01.2022 Stay tuned for the sentence....

01.01.2022 Support our banana growers. They are facing tough times biosecurity wise at the moment and this video demonstrates how it’s not just about companies and business.
