The Tasmanian Salmonoid Growers Association’s Pherose Jungalwalla says they have agreed to a voluntary suspension of amoxycillin but there is still a need for its strategic use. “What we are asking for is consideration to retain the access to amoxycillin under special circumstances where we feel that a particular bug might be better targeted by this particular antibiotic” he said. “I must add that apart from human medicine amoxycillin is also used in other primary production industries.

Federal police officers began arriving in the Northern Territory today with their State counterparts in Victoria and New South Wales to follow. Tasmania’s Community Development Minister Michelle ‘Byrne says the Federal Government has asked for Tasmanian police to be involved:”They’ve made a request for a certain amount of police we need to consider that request not only in the light of our own resourcing issues but also in the light of wanting to understand exactly how they mean to progress any building issue within remote aboriginal communities. “It’s fine to send in some police to deal with some law and order issues but if that’s the only thing the Federal Government’s going to progress then that’s not going to resolve the issues that we’re seeing in aboriginal communities” she said”I want to have a full briefing about the full implications of the announcement of the Federal Government” said Ms ‘Byrne. Randolph Wierenga from the Police Association says he would have concerns if police were diverted from front-line activities in Tasmania.
