Well, I think there's been a lot of knowledge that this has been an issue for 20 years now.
00:09
Our industry bodies seem to have ignored it totally.
00:15
Because there isn't an Australian residue level that's been set,
00:22
they haven't bothered both the industry organisations, the government departments,
00:28
none of them seem to have addressed this issue.
00:31
I'm outraged that groups like Cattle Council, the Ag Force Council,
00:37
Meat and Livestock Australia especially,
00:40
because they are supposed to be protecting our markets and developing new markets.
00:46
There's countries that we sell meat to that have now set PFAS, MRL levels in meat.
00:56
And we know, I know, just from my little bit of experience with our situation here,
01:03
that the level in the water here is much, much, much higher,
01:08
thousands of megajoules or whatever the measurement is,
01:15
higher than the EU level.
01:18
So surely our industry bodies need to start to address this.
