New comment on Breed Associations and Competitions
Far a I know there isn't an ag society game enough to hold a show with horses bar the sydney royal. and the list of who isn't going to have classes is longer than the list of who can go.
Really the putting on to show organisers to have to pay in the event of a lockdown is just another case of the government shirking its responsibility for the entire EI debacle.
They permitted its entrance to australia because of non existant biosecurity, read the callihan report if you are still in any doubt over that one. the head of AQIS was too busy to call a meeting to address the issues requesting amendment to the import protocols sent to her in 2004 to implement said request.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE FOOTING ANY LOCKDOWN BILLS. or if they really are too strapped for cash after opening the floodgates for the millions spent on advertising then how about it comes out the super package of said head of AQIS?
Show societies didn't bring EI into Australia let those responsible for this utter mess foot the bill.
FULL STOP END OF STORY.

AQIS stuffed big time in not following correct procedures in their quarantine station ( no doubt put under pressure from the thoroughbred to let their high priced and high money earning stallions out of quarantine ASAP, in the mean time the rest of the non horse racing industry in Australia has suffered since 24Aug 2007 and will suffer for a long time into the future. Thru all this the relevant State DPI'S have done what the the horse racing industry told them , finally they worked out how much the non racing sector of the horse world contributed to Government coffers and some assistance was begrudingly directed to the non racing community.( only to keeps us quite and to be seen to be doing something).
So I agree the Federal Government Dept stuffed up and should pay and should allso be accountable
