Agricultural businesses in the northern Ag region of WA are under serious threat. In my experience, label rates of registered baits are not enough to control a population that has gone exponential. Recent inspections of baited paddocks show significant removal of planted seeds despite recent baiting after seeding - in fine weather. Growers will need to apply baits more than once, which is costly. The common sense approach would be to have registered mouse baiting products that have a rate range on the label, where higher rates can be used for higher pressure. Emergency permits required asap.

The 'Supply Chain Capacity Program' results were released today. We weren't successful. If a business 100% reliant on live export doesn't make the cut, who does 🤔 only 40 WA producers apparently... 40! Is that building a sustainable sheep industry @AlboMP ?

The Government is spending $2.3 million of your money on ads about assistance to famers hurt by the ban on live sheep exports.
ALL live sheep exporters are in WA.
Yet - as revealed in Senate estimates today - over 80% of Labor's social media ad spend is OUTSIDE of WA.
Why is the Government using taxpayer dollars to spruik its live export policy to people who are not affected?
Could it be that they are using taxpayer resources to spruik Labor's leftwing policies to inner-city leftwing voters?

There's been considerable interest in ABC’s reporting of an alleged link between AgChem paraquat & Parkinson’s. Anyone following this story or with an interest in the topic we encourage you to read this clarification released by the independent regulator apvma.gov.au/news-and-public…”
