David Littleproud (Maranoa, National Party, Shadow Minister for Agriculture) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. I refer to the Chief Veterinary Officer's briefing to the opposition on Thursday, where he advised that foot-and-mouth disease is uncontrolled and increasing, and to a subsequent comment from the minister for agriculture on Monday that Indonesia seems to be getting ahead of it. Who is correct, and has this confusion caused thousands of passengers to cross the border from Indonesia without proper screening and without disinfectant foot mats? Why is Labor making a bad situation worse?
