If anyone bothers to read the fine print, you'll find this...
"Australia remains free of the diseases as the live virus was not detected,...."
As every cloven hoofed animal owner in Australia works toward fine tuning their on farm bio security, as they attempt to stay abreast of factual information coming from within industry, as they plead with returning travellers to do the right thing, mainstream media shamelessly creates a misleading, fear mongering, panic striking headline...
"BREAKING. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE FOUND IN AUSTRALIA"
Hey, 7NEWS Australia. How can you justify such a blatant attention grabbing, misinformed headline?
How can you DARE belittle our concerns by so blatantly crying wolf?
As a livestock producer with my life's work and passion in the balance, how DARE you create such confusion?
Disgusted in your headline just doesn't come near to how I'm feeling.
For those feeling the rising panic, please do not.
Here again, in the fine print of the article is what you need to know.
"AUSTRALIA REMAINS FREE OF THE DISEASES AS THE LIVE VIRUS WAS NOT DETECTED....."

But let's not let the truth get in the way of a headline.

And The Weekly Times, who we would expect to know better, were just as disgustingly guilty.
