We have been advised restrictions will be in place until Easter 2008

I have read and heard now from several reliable sources, including DPI vets, that we should expect to be under movement restrictions, in the eastern States until at least Easter 2008 - if things don't get worse.

How many businesses will make it thru the next 4 weeks - let alone the next 7 months?? How many thousands of business's will fold, and lives destroyed? How many horses will go to waste?? Of course racing will start again by Xmas - and race horses will have free rein to go where and when they like - while the other 80% of us sit and watch on.

Things are tuff now - wait another 4 weeks when people become desperate - desperate people do desperate things - maybe then things will change....

When does the cost to stop this - out weigh the benefits of one day returning to EI free status??
