"Primary Industries and Fisheries Minister Tim Mulherin invited people to have their say on Queensland’s biosecurity legislation to help develop a new single, cohesive Biosecurity Act. The Minister launched the Modernising Queensland’s biosecurity legislation discussion paper and encouraged all stakeholders to submit their ideas. “Queensland’s agricultural sector is worth around $12.5 billion per year – with around $6 billion of this production exported overseas,” Minister Mulherin said. Without good biosecurity, Queensland and Australia risks losing access to these critical markets which are vital to the Queensland economy.
