A reminder of the sort of people trying to stop control of feral horses in Kosciuszko NP. When the NSW Supreme Court found aerial shooting is done professionally & humanely, the response from some was to say "shoot the judge". There's no place for disgusting attacks like this.

A big thank you to @MurrayWatt for your constructive engagement on enviro biosecurity & invasives issues. Recent changes in @DAFFgov leadership give us confidence enviro biosecurity is being given greater focus & we're eager to see this momentum continue under @JulieCollinsMP.

Congratulations @JulieCollinsMP - the new minister responsible for Australia's biosecurity. Labor has a proud legacy of biosecurity reform & invasive species action. This is a pivotal time - fire ants, bird flu & environmental biosecurity all need urgent attention @DAFFgov

I welcome the great honour to serve as the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and thank the Prime Minister for this new challenge. Agriculture plays a vital role in our country, and our national economy continues to rely on a strong and diverse sector.

@ISCAustralia @AlboMP @tanya_plibersek @JulieCollinsMP 10. Undertake research to identify highly susceptible native species. 11. Undertake vaccination trials in native species identified as at highest risk. 12. Convene a workshop of researchers to identify priority research projects.

@ISCAustralia @AlboMP @tanya_plibersek @JulieCollinsMP 7. Make it a priority issue on the agenda for Environment Ministers to discuss ahead of the spring migration. 8. Scale up public communication, including with non-government partners. 9. Undertake simulation exercises for difficult response scenarios.

⚠ Distressing but don't look away⚠️ These are sea lions dying from the deadly H5 bird flu in Chile. This could happen on Aussie beaches soon, but the Aus Govt isn't prepared. Last year >30k South American sea lions died this way. There are only ~12k sea lions in Australia. 🧵👇
