I'll trade you for one of these beauties

This is a Fireblight affected apple and on Radio National this morning they were saying that apples infected with this scourge are to be imported into Australia for trade exchange.
Why should we put our Apple and Pear industries at risk especially in Tasmania when we will never be able to recover should Bio Security fail.
Supermarket chains have already brought in frozen infected Salmon and we have recently seen the debarcle over Equine Influenza.
Ok if they need to well just keep it on the mainland and keep Tasmania disease free.
We have enough Lung disease as it is.
