Allow the Myxomatosis vaccine to be available for all rabbit owners in Australia

The issue

This is important as all rabbit owners should be able to have peace of mind knowing that their family members are not going to suffer from such a horrible disease. 

We understand that the government wants to use Myxomatosis to control the wild rabbit population but not allowing us to have access to a life saving vaccine is wrong and it needs to be legalized. The vaccine will not stop the wild  rabbit population from contracting the disease and has been proven all over the world, rabbit owners in the UK are able to use the vaccine and the wild rabbits still contract the disease. SO WHY not here???

Australian Government Please allow us access to the vaccine we would really appreciate it.
