QLD NSW Boarder are the dept's working together?

Does anyone know if DPI NSW and DPI QLD are working together or not?We are on the Far North Coast and have been frustrated at the lack ofinformation about the areas infected in SE QLD. Up until just veryrecently the DPI QLD website had very little information and no maps ofwere the outbreaks were, just names of places which you then had to lookwhere it is. I am concerned that these government departments aren’tworking together because you look at both the NSW maps and the QLD mapsand Warwick and Tambouine are closer to the Far North Coast area then anyof the NSW infected areas. SE QLD is now in the red zone on QLD websitebut on NSW website Far North Coast and Tweeds zones are not consideredhigh risk. Go figure. I think there is more risk of EI spreading Southfrom across the boarder into our area than is actually being considered.

Also where are the assistance packages for the commoners who are out ofpocket because of the standstill. We have a horse we are payingagistment for because he can't be moved. This wasn't budgeted for but noassistance is forthcoming and no phone calls get returned. Unfortunatelyhe isn't a race horse! God I'm so over the medias perception of the onlyhorses and owners etc impacted on are the racey ones.
