Invasive species

["Alan Gillanders" <>]

Victoria's Green Paper on invasive species has been released. I encourage 
Victorian readers to make a submission.  To find out more and make a 
submission go to the Victoria Naturally Website at 
http://www.victorianaturally.org.au/. Submissions are due 30 June.
My suggestion include:-
A permitted list system would be much better than a prohibited list system.

Importers should have to pay a bond for introductions and be held liable for 
their escape and damage to the environment. This could be on a sliding scale 
and refunded after review by a scientific panel ten years later or held if 
the species, form  or hybrid has not proved itself to not be a problem.
Regards,
Alan Gillanders
