Prime Minister Scott Morrison, speaking at Beef Week 2021 in Rockhampton, detailed a biosecurity upgrade package for farming and grazing industries. The package includes $34.6 million for pest research, $19.5 million for pre-border screening trials and $96.8 million for an offshore treatment assurance program.
Enhanced biosecurity protects Australia's $53 billion in agricultural exports and reduces the risk of disease shocks to livestock supply, a modest supportive factor for cattle prices.
