Does there need to be stricter measures implemented against oat people and illegal fishing vessels because of the risk that they may introduce an emergency animal disease?
There is a risk associated with illegal boats landing on Australian shores but it needs to be kept in perspective with the many other ways that a disease can enter Australia. Most diseases that would threaten the northern beef industry for example would only survive the voyage time in an infected animal, and the likelihood of such an animal surviving a serious infection is relatively low.
