Tas rodeo cancelled over horse flu concerns

The rodeo at Ross in Tasmania has been called off, because of concerns about equine influenza.
The decision comes after mainland states moved to ease restrictions on horse travel.
President Robert Brown says although there is only a small chance of infection, organisers did not want to risk the rodeo ground being quarantined.
"We are on a council ground and it's used by multiple users," he says.
"If there was a slight chance that a horse might have got there with the symptoms of the flu, we would have been shut down until we got the results back, which could have been for any time up to five, six days, a fortnight.
"I know the chances are very, very slim and it's getting slimmer every day, but it's just a chance that we didn't really want to take".
