“We don’t want that disease here. It would effectively wipe out some key parts of our agricultural industry – so we don’t want that to happen,” Ms Andrews told Sky News Australia on Thursday.
Drum Roll - The LNP have suffered from 'FOOT IN MOUTH' disease for decades!!
This is on you AirbusAlbo if this reaches our shores, you will need to resign.
So it's an 80billion dollar industry, that's no small coin so where's the justification for ripping Australian's off with high meat prices?
When in government the coalition didn't mind letting Covid into Australia but in opposition they are now all for a hard border? Couldn't make this 💩up. Is that the same agriculture industry Morrison cost millions $$ every time he opened his mouth denigrating a big importer ? 🤷♂️
Instead of Andrews and Sky trying to create the illusion she’s found something the Govt is not already doing, how about some constructive ideas on “how” that may add value. Unlikely as original thoughts not strong with LNP misfits
This is urgent. Albo and his team of 🥔 and 🤡 will have to work out a “plan”. The only thing they think is urgent is getting on a plane. We’re doomed
Hmmm just wondering does Bill Gates have a synthetic meat or organic farm in Australia ?
And WHAT'S their PLAN on how to do it, Or just more LiberalAus Piss and Wind , something to whinge about and Sponcered bu StyNewsAust
So no visit from Joe Biden?
I didn't know coal could get Foot and Mouth! The only industry the Nats give a flying F about!
If it get into Australia the LABOR/GREEN GOVT will immediately BLAME the previous 😉 Government like they do for everything else that goes wrong.
Wait, what? Whatever happened to let it rip and personal choice? Oh, this one might harm an industry, not humans. I get it.
Well you had better STOP people coming & going to and from this country OR the consequences will be catastrophic .. the longer you dilly dally the sooner it WILL happen .& you thought covid was contagious .
a day late and a dollar short
Weird how the Coalition in opposition suddenly care about Australia
This is federal Labor's Ruby Princess moment.
The Liebrals are the Foot & Mouth Disease.
Climate change is a piss in the ocean compared to FMD getting into Australia 🇦🇺
Someone from the ALP has gone to Indonesia to take a selfie that will fix it
In other words it absolutely will be allowed in to further decimate the local farming industry and push us closer to having no meat and eating Bill Gates bugs instead 🙄
They are setting the narrative,it’s already planned
Ban travel to Indonesia now.
