Quarantine shuts door on weed imports
19 Jan 2005

Loopholes in quarantine laws that allow the import of thousands of weed species to be imported will be closed by May, the nation's quarantine watchdog Biosecurity Australia said. Biosecurity Australia said it was urgently reviewing 4000 weed species whose seeds can be imported, after calls for action by weed researchers and a Senate inquiry. Only those weed species found to be already in Australia will remain on import lists.
