In just one week our key task is to warn as many Australians as possible of the dangers to our nation if we fail to eradicate Queensland’s current fire ant infestations. FIre ants will stop us using our backyards and parks, damage our natural environment and impacts on our health and infrastructure. All Australians need to know we can’t afford to let this genie out of the bottle.
