Tasmania reserves it’s right to manage its own biosecurity risk
The feedback and submission process on EXPOSURE DRAFT (18 March 2016) Biosecurity (Prohibited and Conditionally Non-prohibited Goods) Determination 2016 closed on the 17th of May.
The TSGA submission is attached to this post for your information and reference: Exposure Draft- Biosecurity (Prohibited and Conditionally Non-prohibited Goods) Determination 2016- TSGA Submission 150617
The TSGA is very happy to be part of a National system of biosecurity, and we are the first to accept that we have a ‘duty of care’ to manage biosecurity at a community, industry and enterprise level, BUT we support the strong views of the Tasmanian State Government that as a state we wish to reserve our right to manage our own biosecurity risk.
Tasmania’s biosecurity system is world class and is protecting the interests of our tourism, environmental and farming industries.
