absolutely disgraceful that non-racehorse sector will bear the brunt

Maybe you are right VF about a demo to Canberra. It is absolutely
disgraceful that the non racehorse sector is going to bear the brunt
of the costs of containing EI which came into the country because the
quarantine procedures in this country have been dismally inadequate.
We ( I certainly didn't! ) didn't agree to paying 80% of the cost
which someone else has already agreed for us that we would pay. So
that means that on top of all the losses to the horse industry ( non
racehorse) this industry is to be slugged again for something that was
none of it's doing!
I certainly will have nothing to do with the Melbourne Cup, but then
again I never bet anyway so I'm afraid it won't make much difference!
