Fire Ants: 'Throwing everything at our efforts' reads more like 'playing with the fringes'.

Considering the closing end of Winter, you'd think this would be the last timing to increase the number of field officers doing surveys and baiting in Queensland;
while NSW increase field officers to first deploy on Verroa mites, and redeloy where needed to survey far-north NSW for fire ants.

The vulnerability of productive farmland is at threat from all fronts...

Yet the interests of energy giants still weighed more heavily than Australia's most threatened industry sector.

Knew it was too optimistic to think NSW floods would do something about varroa mites.

Several months on and it’s still a problem.
NSW should be held to answer to a national inquiry - it’s a problem that potentially affects the entire nation

Gunnedah Basin & Liverpool Plains farmers threatened with gas exploration on critical agricultural land have blockaded roads

Farmers and communities in the Gunnedah Basin and Liverpool Plains have again had to resort to blockade roads to protect some of the State’s most productive farmlands from fossil fuel development.

This week roads near Gunnedah were blockaded by the community as gas giant Santos continued their seismic testing for coal seam gas despite commitments that these gas resources would not be developed.

Santos in lockstep with the Government is determined to exploit the land and water of NSW’s most productive agricultural area.

BOM has failed to address many of the fundamental problems that have peaked over the past 2-years.
Then this massive change of comm structuring?
Regardless of how well intended it is, it’s unsurprising that it’s met with deep distrust and scepticism.

Farmers allege up to 70 years of warnings ignored by Government(s). At least 24 under owned Statutory Corporation, ARTC.
(... 70-years certainly plausible, if you consider the long history of the Trans-Australia)

Releasing bugs. Vacuuming bugs.
