Federal Minister for Agriculure wants to break bans for one racehorse!

OUTRAGE!!!!! IT IS NO WONDER WE HAVE EI IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN FEDERAL MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE, IAN MCDONALD LOBBYING TO LET LEICA FALCON INTO VICTORIA FOR THE MELBOURNE CUP!!!!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MR. BRUMBY STAND YOUR GROUND AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND FAIR FOR ALL.

Maybe this is a ploy to make Mr. Brumby look bad.What hope do we have against EI when people running this country want to break the rules that everyone else has to abide by? Once again, favouritism for racehorses and risk all the horses in Victoria for one racehorse. Obviously, money talks ....etc. Thanks very much!.

All other horse owners are not important according to our federal government! Wake up, Ian McDonald, the horse may have been tested negative for EI & been vaccinated but at any time he could acquire the disease post his test , and yes ( I guess our illustrious minister must be unaware !!!! ....or doesn't care..) vaccinated horses can still carry the disease. Not only that but stable hands who may have been on other properties, equipment and vehicles. Obviously Mr.Mcdonald doesn't give a brass razoo for all you people out there who have been suffering because of the restrictions imposed. It is no wonder people in this country have little respect for politicians.

Diane,
Victorian horse owner

well said sandy, sorry to say i'm only 1hr drive from corowa, where lecia falcon is, come one he was closer to the border than miss finland was. from what i read the other day, yes the races horses are getting what they want.
i've lost a sale of my horse due to the flu all the call were left as see what the flu does.
that means we're still feeding an extra horse when we may not have been doing that, and i'm sure there's a lot of people with some feed in the paddock where as we're got none.
