Decision looms on horse expo date

Organisers of Rockhampton's Horse Expo, in central Queensland, say they are unsure when the event would be held if it has to be postponed.
The expo is due to be held in May, but chairman Geoff Murphy says they want to ensure that Australia is definitely clear of equine influenza and precautionary controls are in place before the expo goes ahead.
Mr Murphy says a decision will be made by the end of this month, but it appears likely there will be some deferral.
"Look, I would say that at this stage I think it's less likely to go ahead in May and maybe we will have to postpone it until later on in the year," he said.
"We're looking at all of the alternatives and speaking with government about it so, no, we haven't formed any firm views of exactly how far we might have to push it out."
