Draft Threat Abatement Plan for Disease in Natural Ecosystems Caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi (Feb 20, 2013)
Australian Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities.
The Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has released the draft 'Threat abatement plan for disease in natural ecosystems caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi' for three-month public consultation from 20 February 2013 to 20 May 2013. P. cinnamomi is believed to have been introduced into Australia at the time of European settlement and has spread to all Australian states and territories. The area of Australian native vegetation affected by P. cinnamomi exceeds a million hectares, and continues to increase each year.

Australia's Native Vegetation Framework (Dec 2012)
Council of Australian Governments. Standing Council on Environment and Water.
Australia's Native Vegetation Framework has been developed by the Australian Government and state and territory governments to maintain or build healthier and more connected native vegetation. The framework is a strategic document with five goals to guide government, the community and the private sector in native vegetation management across Australia. It is not prescriptive or binding. Governments across Australia are working together to implement the framework as well as to monitor and report on progress. The COAG Standing Council on Environment and Water will formally oversee implementation of the framework and coordinate regular reviews and updates.

Bee on the Lookout for Asian Honey Bees (Nov 20, 2012)
Queensland Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
Biosecurity Queensland is calling on the Far North Queensland community to report Asian honey bees found outside of the known infested area. The current known infested area of Asian honey bees surrounding the Cairns region extends from the edges of Port Douglas down to South Johnstone and west to Biboohra, Atherton and Malanda. Biosecurity Queensland's Asian honey bee program manager, Russell Gilmour said the program is looking for nests and swarms outside of the known infested area to help track and minimise the spread of the pest bee. "We are also on the look-out at ports and marinas visited by international vessels, as they are high-risk areas for new bee incursions. If you see a bee swarm around a port or marina, please report them to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23 or use our online reporting tool."

Introduced Plants Outnumber Natives (Aug 14, 2012)
Australian Geographic.
There are now more foreign plants in Australia than native ones - at least ones we know about, say scientists. About 27,500 introduced plant species have made their way into the country, compared to our 24,000 natives. And around 10 per cent of the invaders have become 'naturalised' or 'established', meaning they now grow by themselves thrive in the wild. Each species introduced to Australia needs to be considered as potentially dangerous for our biodiversity, says John DeJose, CEO of the environmental organisation, Invasive Species Council.
