Stopping the federal illegalisation of thousands of species of plants The reason given for the proposed changes is to reduce the amount of money going into organised crime. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of these plants have no market value whatsoever and that no organised crime profits from them. These plants are valuable only as plants, be it for collectors, as garden ornamentals, for use in bush regeneration, as fodder for live stock or to produce food products (such as fruit and seeds), etc. Another point worth making is that considering that potentially hundreds of species of Australian native plants will become illegal, the government would by rights be required to bulldoze the native bushland where population of these plants are found. Acacia species, the ones which would be most targetted, are found throughout the country in great abundance. Submissions about these proposed changes close on March 11, 2011. If the Australian public wants to have a say about this matter, we only have until that date to do so. suggest.getup.org.au/forums/60819-campaign-ideas/suggestions/1384297-stopping-the-federal-illegalisation-of-thousands-o

Millions of Australian food plants poisoned in sabotage attack Jul 7, 2010 Townsville - Australia’s growers are in shock after a deliberate herbicide attack destroyed millions of tomato seedlings in northern Queensland. This criminal attack has been reported to police, and apparently it’s not the first time. The attack will cause a massive spike in prices. Four million tomato seedlings, capsicums, and egg plants, were destroyed. Motives for the attack aren’t clear. Theories range from a “grudge” to competition based or hoons. www.digitaljournal.com/article/294318
