ON THE SCENT

WHY have we only got 15 Covid detector dogs at two points of entry into Australia? Adelaide and Sydney international airports are the only places they are used. Tasmania hasn’t got any! It’s our only weapon against Covid entering our state. I

contacted Jeremy Rockliff’s office to be told a fiscal study that has never been produced claims retraining detector dogs for Covid detection outweighs the cost of quarantine, shutdowns, test sites, vaccines, environmental waste, suicides, bankruptcy etc. Retraining detector dogs takes up to six months. Andrew Wilkie is the only politician to ask this question. Why? Annabel Goward
