| Summary |
Several fundamental themes characterise the approach the Australian Quarantine Review took in framing its recommendations. A significant number of submissions to the review emphasised the fundamental importance to the community of maintaining Australia's unique natural environment. The committee believes that effective quarantine policy and programs are essential to achieving this objective. The recommendations on the establishment of an Australian Plant Health Council and a Chief Plant Protection Officer position within the Department of Primary Industries and Energy will assist in achieving a higher status for the plant industries. Throughout the course of the review, the committee was aware that as a result of considerable media attention on some recent incursions, some staff within AQIS have felt under siege. The fact is that Australia has remained relatively free of many major pests and diseases of animals and plants, despite its increased participation in international trade and movement of people, and dwindling government financial support for the quarantine service |
