BEEFitUP Australia’s Anita Donlon says Labor’s $14 million funding package to prevent a foot and mouth outbreak reaching Australia is “very disappointing”, as calls ramp up to close the country’s borders to Indonesia. “When you have a look at the whole overview of the agri-business sector … it’s in excess of $80 billion,” Ms Donlon told Sky News Australia.
“But the on flow from that right through all the stakeholders, right through the rural communities, it is just absolutely disgraceful.” “The one simple thing that I’m getting out of everyone I’ve spoken to this week is very very simple … just close the borders until the issue in Indonesia is sorted.”
