Industry says cut flower imports a 'superhighway' for disease, so where's the cash?

The Australian flower industry's peak body is calling on the federal government to invest more money to protect growers from biosecurity threats.

"It is a huge concern for me and industry colleagues as diseases that could come in on cut flowers, such as xylella, could wipe billions from the local agricultural sector and devastate local flora and fauna." "I believe [cut flowers] are currently the only fresh produce in the country excluded despite being one of the highest risk pest pathways," she said.

Which countries are the main exporters into Australia? I guess there’s one in particular.

Dear flower industry, you need to create a photo op for Scotty.
