Biosecurity strategy welcomed by industry bodies
A new National Biosecurity Strategy has been welcomed by industry bodies, to help safeguard the nation’s farm sector.

Rural reporter Meg Van Lohuizen spoke with National Farmer’s Federation chief executive Tony Mahar about what needs to be done next.
