Angus Carnegie (NSWDPI) attended the annual NZ Forest Biosecurity Workshop in Rotorua in February, which featured presentations from key industry, government biosecurity and science leaders. This webinar summarises the key messages from these workshop presentations, and compares the NZ biosecurity system with Australia’s. It identifies some options for the Australian forest industry to consider to reduce the risk, and improve management, of biosecurity threats.
