Hi Peter,
 Whether
Australia will ever rid itself of red imported fire ants is
hanging in the balance, with state and federal ministers expected
to make a final decision on funding in February next year.
What's at stake if they fail to come up with the required
funding? I'll be in Brisbane December 5 to explain at my talk
'Into the Heart of Fire Ant Country', so if you're in town make
sure you book your free ticket.
During the presentation I'll show some powerful interviews I
recorded while on my fire ant fact-finding mission in the US,
where I discovered what it's like to live in a land infested by
highly aggressive red fire ants.
Have a great read of our latest 'Feral Herald'. And if you like
our work, don’t forget to donate.
Andrew Cox, CEO.
