The National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program stated that the strategic review had stated that at least $200 million to $300 million per year will be required for eradication to be achieved by 2032. However, only $94 million was spent in 2022-23. Why is this government not demonstrating leadership in committing the funding that's required to eradicate them?
