Not Made in China: the taste of Australian apples
Result:
Hi everyone
Thankyou for your support and for signing for 2010 petition against Chinese imports.
To my dismay, as many people would know already, Chinese imports are going to be allowed into Australia, albeit with strict protocols to meet.
My focus is now turning toward ways to better connect producers and consumers in Australia and help them form mutually supportive relationships. If Australian produce meets or surpasses consumers' expectations, and consumers only buy Australian grown, then there won't be a market for imports, and they won't come, even if permitted.
That's the ideal world I'm trying to build.
Thankyou again.

This petition contests a report from Biosecurity Australia recommending the import of Chinese apples subject to quarantine conditions - a proposal that many Australian apple farmers vehemently oppose.
We understand that there would be significant quarantine protocols and processes to manage the risk. But we believe in this case the risk is too great; the potential consequences for our environment and apple industry are too dire.
We, the undersigned, demand a complete review of the report.
