Damn.
All cos online sellers want more ratings.
Lol.

Dammit and the trial machine is in Brisbane...

Looks like a need to place a few more bulk orders from overseas seedbanks, before this x-ray technology checks everything coming into Aus.

That's what I was thinking.

Fucking Chinese rat cunts fucking us again.

Chinks are very good at problem solving
I can see this thing punching out heaps of false flags just like the ATO fucked up Algo's.
Will drive the Postal system Nuts I reckon

Even though i've gone down before with intercepted seeds, i don't find this news too disturbing.

Firstly, Agriculture Department (not so concerning) will be monitoring what the Biosecurity Department (quite concerning) find.

Secondly, they'll most likely only bother scanning mail from those countries they mentioned ("China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Pakistan predominantly").

And last but not least, due Covid, you will see a shopping trend around the world that will see people buy more shit online, than walk-in retail stores, which in turn loads up the postal/delivery systems within the country, and make individual package scanning even harder.

Just refrain from bulk orders, and using real name and grow address.

That's a good point, maybe you're right.

Ruh-Roh Scooby. Looks like local seedbanks will be doing a roaring trade.

If only they had a good selection from the top breeders actually in stock for a change.

 

[Indy]

..and weren't full of shit either.

 

[frankreynolds]

It's a shame, prob won't stop me from ordering in the future at least until this technology is widespread. Even then don't order breeders packs with thc numbers etc and the seeds will just most likely just be destroyed.

Aus seed banks still be getting there seed lots in bulk, and marking it up don't be afraid if you've got a safe address lol

EDIT*

in the end AUstralian Biosecurity is very important as well so in two minds about this.

Watch out for sleazy fuks Morrison and Dutton( potato head)
Trying to turn us into a fully fledged police state one step at a time.

It's bloody nice take of a potato head though, mate. Surely he gets some points for that effort.

 

[Carbcon]

Don't like all this negative potato talk
