Fact finding mission: Help warn Australians about the fire ant menace

We'd like to thank everyone who has signed our petition calling on all Australian governments, state and federal, to fully fund the fire ant eradication program. Now that the petition is live we need as many people to sign on as possible, so please share the petition on social media and pass the word around to friends and family. Every voice will count. If you follow us on social media you probably already know that our CEO, Andrew Cox, is now in the US on a fire ant fact finding mission. He made the last minute decision on Friday to fly to the US after we received national news coverage about Australia’s fire ant emergency on Radio National and ABC 24. Andrew will visit fire ant infection zones across the US so that he can fully inform Australians about what is in store for us if we don't eradicate fire ants from Queensland. We had not planned on this trip and now have to dig deep to fund it. We’ve set up a crowdfunding page to help cover Andrew’s costs, any donation you can make will help warn fellow Australians about what will happen if we fail to fully fund the fire ant eradication program. Thank you for supporting the Invasive Species Council. This is a critical time for fire ant control and together we may be able to beat this one.
