Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce was only one of a very impressive list of winners recognised for making a major contribution to protecting Australia from dangerous new invasive species.
Environmental biosecurity: Do we have a body responsible for protecting Australia’s native plants and animals from new pests and diseases? In short, no. But we should.
A landmark Senate inquiry report released this month sets a strong new direction to prevent new weeds, pests and diseases.
State governments have told the Senate inquiry into environmental biosecurity that the system is failing.
A ‘top six on the richter scale’ list of high priority threats to the environment provided to the Senate biosecurity inquiry begs many more questions than it answers.
The evidence provided to the Senate inquiry has demonstrated that Australia’s biosecurity system is failing in multiple ways to prevent the arrival of harmful new invaders. Here we summarise the highlights of the public hearings.
The Invasive Species Council recently tested how easy it is to buy prohibited weeds online, and found quarantine seriously wanting.
The Senate inquiry on environmental biosecurity has been useful for revealing gaping holes in Australia’s preparation for new invasive species and flushed out the views of government about our proposal for a dedicated body to prepare for invasive species.
The high rate of new environmental incursions detected since 2000 suggests Australia has not yet learnt from the past. The Invasive Species Council’s submission highlights the lessons that should be learned.
These extracts from some of the 83 submissions to the Senate inquiry reveal systemic failure in our environmental biosecurity systems and support for many of the issues raised by the Invasive Species Council.
With a continued high rate of new invasive species arriving and establishing in Australia, it is clear we need a more concerted focus on environmental biosecurity priorities. That is why we have proposed to the Senate inquiry the establishment of a new national body.
The Senate is looking at how to better protect Australia from new invasive species. Use this guide to join our calls for stronger biosecurity to protect our precious natural environmental from yet more invasive species. Late submissions due 22 August.
The Australian Senate has set up an inquiry to look into how we can prevent the arrival into Australia of new invasive species impacting on the environment.
Australia’s quarantine system is failing to keep out very damaging environmental invaders and our federal parliament should be seeking to determine why that is.
