FOOT-AND-MOUTH EMERGENCY: BORDER CLOSURE NOW

It's an emergency, unlike climate hysteria. Prime Minister Albanese must close the border now but without leaving Indonesia in the lurch as the Rudd government did when they closed off all the cattle trade.

With all of Bali a farm, anyone returning could be carrying the disease and the precautions taken at airports, when they are actually taken, are insufficient.

The consequences of foot-and-mouth getting in a too awful to contemplate. it would be gross negligence to let this is.
