HORSE BORDER BREACHES TO BE CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Equine Influenza (EI) border security controls in Victoria are set to become stronger, with new ‘night-vision' camera surveillance to be established at undisclosed border crossing points.
Minister for Agriculture, Joe Helper said that the success of the Spring Racing Carnival did not mean Victoria could relax its tough border security, and would remain serious about apprehending people breaching the NSW/Victorian border controls.
“The cameras will be on 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they will add to the border security staff already in place. Equine Influenza is still present in NSW and our efforts to prevent it spreading to Victoria will stay in place as long as necessary,” he said.
Mr Helper said the Government would commit a further $25,000 each month to camera surveillance in addition to private security guards and DPI employees already protecting the border. The five permanent cameras will be in place by December 3rd on major border crossings.
