Fireblight: A Matter of Backbone and Sovereignty

A foreign organisation, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is demanding that Australia open its quarantine doors to the possibility of fireblight disease from imported New Zealand apples. Oz has enforced a ban on NZ apples for decades and as we are aware our local industry is not only able to supply local markets but exports volumes to Asia and other nations. So why the imposition from a foreign 'authority' telling us what to do with our crucial food crops – the answer lies somewhere between a jelly fish and servile mammals without backbones.
Previous to this outrage America demanded that we accept ‘mad cow’ beef imports from US beef growers – needless to say, Oz is free of mad cow and fireblight but clearly not free of spineless, knee-walking politicians and subservient government!
Think before falling for the two party bullshit system at the next election – vote for yourselves, vote for REAL REPRESENTATIVE, independents.
Shame on you gutless wonders in Canberra.
