Coincidentally I was sent this email today at work:
Dear biosecurity stakeholder
The Biosecurity Council of Western Australia is investigating the delivery of biosecurity activities across the State. In particular, we are hoping to bring together the views of key stakeholders from across government, industry and community to help develop an agreed and common understanding of roles, responsibilities and principles that underpin an effective biosecurity system for Western Australia.
The Biosecurity Council is a specialist advisory group to the Minister for Agriculture and Food and the Director General of the Department of Agriculture and Food. It is our role to provide advice on biosecurity-related matters. We also provide advice to other Ministers, if necessary.
To help us develop advice that considers the views of a wide range of biosecurity stakeholders, we have developed an online questionnaire that we hope you are able to complete.
The information you provide will form the basis of the Council’s advice to the State Government. We believe the information will provide a strong foundation for the development of important biosecurity-related policy. As such, we feel that it is of the utmost importance for your views to be identified, recognised and understood.
To have your say, you can access the questionnaire from the following website: https://www.surveymo...curityCouncilWA
The survey will be open for two weeks until 8 am Monday 23 June 2014, and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
If you would like a copy of the results, there is the opportunity to enter your email or postal address at the end of the questionnaire.
I hope that you are able to take part in this important work.
Different department I know, but a related topic and possibly the biosecurity council is more influential than a group of hobbyists writing letters ad nauseum. Haven't read the survey yet but assuming it would be asking questons relevant to the shrimp situation.
