Queensland fruit fly operations in winter
While fruit flies are less active in winter, our work in your neighbourhood will continue.
Operations will slow down over winter but some of our surveillance traps will stay out and we ask that you continue to stick to the rules on fruit and vegetable movements.
Biosecurity New Zealand lifted the Zone A restrictions and moved those properties into Zone B. Check what this means for you at biosecurity.govt.nz/queenslandfruitfly
We know it’s an inconvenience, but the work is vital for our horticultural industries and our backyard fruit trees.
We are grateful for your support, we cannot do this without you.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
