VFF President Brett Hosking said “there’s no second chance when it comes to protecting Australia’s multi-billion dollar livestock industry from the threat of any biosecurity risks.”
“Australia produces some of the cleanest, safest and healthiest food in the world and the government must be one hundred percent sure any imported product doesn’t risk devastating the local industry.”
“Traceability is key when it comes to managing biosecurity risks and we must never compromise on our strict entry requirements.”
