We speak to Bronwyn Holm, Ginger, and Tanya about the blatant government overreach on display with the fire ant eradication program in southeast Queensland. Ginger and Tanya discuss the forced application of toxic chemicals on properties, despite no evidence of fire ant presence, leading to widespread environmental damage, pet deaths, and serious human health issues, with no evidence that the pest control program is actually working to reduce the fire ant population. They call for affidavits and evidence to challenge the program and urge collective action to protect Australia’s land and food security.
