England has a different sort of beauty to that of Australia.
London has a different sort of beauty to that of much of the rest of England.
Tasmania has its own unique beauty wherein its natural scenery, sweeping and wild, is glorious.
There isn't any doubt that biosecurity is incredibly important to Tasmania's industries, environment, and way of life (as the video below points out).
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโTasmania has some of the world's most stringent biosecurity requirements. Please help us protect Tasmania from introduced pests, weeds and diseases by ensuring that when you visit us you are not carrying or importing any restricted items. The introduction of a pest, weed or disease into a production area can result in expensive controls being implemented and loss of markets, which can cost primary industries and the community millions of dollars.
For more detailed information on the import into Tasmania of plant, plant material, animal products, pets and other restricted or prohibited items please visit our Guide to Importing page.โ
It is worse than carelessness if anyone repeatedly attempts to import potentially hazardous items into Australia (and specifically Tasmania as that's what is being discussed here). In the same way, we would need to respect the UK customs requirements when seeking to import seeds, plant products, animals, etc. if we were to live in or visit the UK.
Ignoring or dismissing these sorts of import concerns is like taking a match to the Notre Dame cathedral and burning it down... just to make a striking comparison with a recent (albeit more accidental) event. We can't be that arrogant and selfish, surely...!
