Has QPPHI adopted the DPI tactics?

When you only get told a little bit of information it generally leads to questions and those that are keen will seek out the answers!

In yesterday's QPPHI update, it was interesting to read........

Quarantine Facilities.

The facilities approved by DPI&F have now received their first Performance & Pleasure horses.

The DPI&F are inviting nominations for similar facilities in the Amber Zone.

If you would like to apply contact the DPI&F.

It is hoped that similar facilities are opened interstate so that Queensland horses

competing at events such as Sydney Royal have a way to return home.

Now given that the DPI&F have already 'approved' facilities, why not TELL people where and who they are, this would surely speed things up for those poor people that have had horses stuck in limbo land??

Upon ringing the DPI, I was told that the only approved quarantine facilities at this stage, that is accepting P&P horses, is Belcam Stud, they were unable to give any prices for the quarantine service but advised that any permit application MUST have the lot / RP number of the quarantine facility on the application.

Given that Ulrich Klatte is on the QPPHI Crisis committee, and the committee are working closely with the DPI, wouldn't one expect that they would know these details are required and perhaps speed up the process by advising the mere mortals? Perhaps not....
