Horse flu inquiry resumes

An inquiry into the horse flu outbreak has been told vets working for the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service spent just 60 seconds examining horses at Sydney Airport when they arrived from overseas.
The inquiry has resumed in Sydney before Commissioner Ian Callinan.
Nicholas Eastlake, operations manager for the Livestock Transport Group, has told the inquiry he believed the AQIS inspection was "quick, about 60 seconds".
In response to questioning, he also said there was no physical examination of either the nostrils or the eyes of horses coming into the country.
Earlier Mr Eastlake had admitted that one of his trucks, carrying horses to the Federal Government's Eastern Creek quarantine centre on August 8 last year, had not been disinfected.
He also said there'd been a sudden, unexpected driver change at the last minute.
The hearing continues.
