Media announcements won’t help famers experiencing ‘worst mouse plague in decades’

Concrete action and not more media announcements are needed from the state government to deal with the estimated one billion mice plaguing NSW, according to Frontier Services National Director Jannine Jackson. The Berejiklian government has committed $50 million to helping small businesses and residents by providing access to free mouse bait and workshops and funding to help researchers develop new mouse control technologies. “We’re really happy that the government is noticing that there is a plague but there is no way to access it [the support package],” Ms Jackson said. “We’re basically been told that it will be at least July before there’s any detail … behind that announcement. “At the moment we need more than just announcements, we need action. “This has been going on for way, way too long. “Media announcements are not going to help farmers and people on the ground that are facing the worst plague in decades”.
