Travellers should wash their shoes or leave them in Bali, agriculture minister says

Senator Murray Watt isn’t the only politician doing the media rounds this morning.

[The attitude at the moment in regards to finding viral fragments] is like finding a dead mouse under the fridge and saying that’s the only one. No, no. That’s the one that’s dead. Let’s go look for the one that’s alive. Indonesia has been grappling with a foot and mouth disease outbreak, with the disease also detected on the holiday island of Bali.No single measure is going to make a difference. There is no silver bullet here. What we need to be doing is making sure we are implementing every single measure that can make a difference.

And having done those major things, I have directed my department to move ahead with foot mats, which we are now going to be rolling out in coming days. So it’s really a matter of continuing to ramp up the measures to make sure we are covering every possible move.

I used to have to do this working in a cheese 🧀 factory. Going from one room to another & that was 5 years ago, hopefully 🙏 ppl oblige

Can u believe that ALBOs circus 🎪 minister who is responsible for this urgency has NO experience of Agriculture what a JOKE , simply appalling, what was ALBO thinking ?

So the plan is to rely on Bali holiday maker types to navigate a complex bio security risk coming back into Aus'? Good luck with that......

Or just block all flights to and from Bali. If the last 2 and a half years have taught us anything at all, it is you can't trust people to do the right thing.
