Nationals Leader David Littleproud says the government needs to act decisively and with urgency amid the threat of a foot and mouth disease outbreak.

Experts say a serious outbreak of the disease could cost Australia $80 billion in a single year and leave the country dependent on imported meat.

Mr Littleproud said there are simple measures the government could have already put in place at airports to protect the meat industry. “They could do it, they could’ve done it, and yet they have failed to put in place those processes and procedures,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News host James Morrow.
