众所周知,澳大利亚的环境是一个封闭的、脆弱的系统,对于任何外来物种都持一种很谨慎的态度。对于触犯相关法律的人,都会采用比较严厉的处罚措施。
即使是这样,还是不断的有人冒险。
下面这个故事是澳大利亚农渔林业部的官员在墨尔本老同志海关检查旅客时发现的。有的乘客把蔬菜种子藏在药的胶囊里,以求混入境。该旅客准备自己开辟个花园种这些蔬菜,因为这些菜在澳洲购买很贵。
下面是原文:
Bad medicine discovered at Melbourne airport
Threats to Australia’s native wildlife were averted when an eagle-eyed biosecurity officer at Melbourne international airport inspected a passenger’s declared items only to find undeclared, concealed seeds.
On closer scrutiny of a declared medicine container, the biosecurity officer noticed a small bean seed which prompted her to open up the coloured capsules. Almost every capsule had seeds inside them. The undeclared seeds were concealed in what looked like prescription issued medicine capsules.
First Assistant Secretary of the Border Compliance Division, Tim Chapman, said that the passenger had been planning
to create her own garden to grow Chinese vegetables which she claimed were expensive to buy in Australia.
“This was a significant detection as the seeds presented many biosecurity concerns. There is the potential for infestation from exotic insects, contamination with soil carrying pathogenic agents or plant diseases or infection from fungi, bacteria or viruses," Mr Chapman said.
DAFF Biosecurity's role is to protect Australia's biosecurity status, which underpins the productivity of our primary industries and protects the environment.
