The Coen Biosecurity checkpoint located on central Cape York Peninsula, the only land bulwark between Papua New Guinea, Torres Strait and the Far Northern, $600 million horticultural industry, will be closed later this year.
Once an employer of local indigenous biosecurity officers, the state government-controlled centre will be closed down and handed over to local Aborigines who have plans to convert the facility to living quarters and occupy the accommodation units.
Departmental sources confirmed the roadside check point would close, displacing existing staff.
“There are no plans to set up another facility to check vehicles carrying fruit or vegetables south,” the source told Cairns News.
The Wet Tropics region centred on Cairns and Mareeba is one of the most diverse tree cropping districts in Australia. Fruit production increased in the Wet Tropics Natural Resource Management (NRM) region from 250,000 tonnes in 2013–14 to 370,000 tonnes in 2017–18. Mangoes, avocados and bananas are the main fruit crops produced in the region.
Since 2016 South African immigrants and other corporate farmers have descended upon the Mareeba Dimbulah Irrigation Area buying farms and planting large areas of grapes and citrus.
Sugar cane cropping is dominant throughout the district supplying the Arriga and Mossman sugar mills.
Closure of the biosecurity facility to the north of this vast irrigation area will leave growers at the mercy of the Red-banded mango caterpillar, black sigatoka banana disease and other insect invaders found in the Torres Strait and PNG.
Tourists often unwittingly bring fruit with them on their return journey south not knowing the threat invasive pests could have on the horticultural industry.
Biosecurity officers at the Coen checkpoint dispose of any fruit found in vehicles that is deemed a threat.
The Labor Minister for Agriculture Mark Furner has been contacted for comment.
The politicians don’t care whom is hurt they just want the lining the pocket
of money.
We can write/say anything we like but, “Klaus Schwab and Bill Hell Gates” are pawns and can be and will be offered up! The Head needs to be destroyed, completely with the snakes that hang on!!!
The Boer wars brings back many memories within the whole family…

So it will be uninhabitable in how many months?
Don’t you people realise, that Klaus Schwabwitz et al from WEF in Davos, have ordered our democratically elected politicians to destroy beyond recovery all food producing agriculture & husbandry , so that a XXI Century Holodomor on our free democratic countries can be implemented …. Cov-Idiocy Vaccines weren’t enough …
While the WEFie Klaus Bots have their Koffee Klatch and yada yada in Davos the Australians who are undergoing the standard issue communist genocide at the hands of the Australian CoVID Regime under UN dicta should take the time to refresh ourselves on the tactics and struggles of people who fought the vectors of the Great Revolution: the British Empire, the Napoleonic Empire and in its Communist phase, the Soviet Union (Supreme Soviet) and then the United Nations.
After 700 year war of independence against Britain, most notably in its malignant form of the Empire of the City of London, Eire won through to home rule.
The enactment of one of the most famous speeches of Michael Collins is worth reviewing.

Thomas,
I don’t mind that so long as the first two bugs are Claus and Gates
lindesymonds, Rigt en schiet naar de ballen man. (Aim – Shoot at the 2 Balls man)…Thanks for your Comments…
Under United [Communist] Nations Agenda 2030 and Earth Charter dicta the agricultural supply chains of the Western nations [think European or European, (for now) demographics] have to be broken. Food is a weapon of control.
Looks like the Australian CoVID Regime is on the job. The Qld gov’t will naturally be onboard. All branches of gov’t are staffed with Masons, WEFie Klaus Bots and CCP. They liaise with the entire Revolutionary Network of multi-lateral partners, NGOs and stakeholder orgs. The Local Government Authorities (formerly Shire Councils) get their orders directly from the Mouth of Sauron in the UN.
Against this determined assault on the farms and agriculture of European people, The Dutch Farmers and the South African Boers have the right idea and have always had the right idea.
Back in the day when the British Empire and its City of London Corporation was the vector for the International Judenstaat and imperium of Monopoly Capital [See The Naked Capitalist by W. Cleon Skousen], the Boers handed the Kakies some big defeats, just as the Dutch Farmers today are going for the high ground and entrenched positions of the Dutch CoVID Regime. And they are piling up a hill of grief for the United Nations [which is the current vector of the International Judenstaat and its Communist Revolution]. In the 19th century, in South Africa, that hill was Majuba.
A member of the USMC walks us through it. It will probably need to be pointed out to CN’s pagan readers and correspondents that the key to the battle is presented at 11.17. This is what we lack. The video includes some great songs of Eire’s fight for independence (which lasted 700 years).

It will end up like the Resort that was operational in the late 1990″s that was handed over to the local community. It was fenced of, however the fences were torn down and the result was to be seen to be believed. “Totally Trashed.” with the swimming pool full of paperwork from the Resort and what ever else could be thrown in, after the whole complex was trashed.
Furner was born in Brisbane, Queensland and grew up a housing commission development in Chermside. Initially working as a tradesman in the transport industry,[3] he graduated from the Queensland University of Technology with an associate diploma of business with a major in industrial relations.
Between 1989 and 2008 he worked as a union official for the Transport Workers’ Union, the Queensland Police Union, and the National Union of Workers. Furner held a range of positions within the Labor Party between 1996 and 2008.[1]
Why am I not surprised?…just very angry!
This is all part of the plan to deprive us of food, and to make us eat bugs, as Thomas says!
Where is this going to end?
If we don’t do something drastic soon it will be too late.
Start by saying a very BIG NO to cashless, use cash wherever you can, walk out if you can’t..
.a very BIG NO to the Voice,
AND AN EVEN BIGGER NO to digital Id, though I don’t think we will be asked if we want the last…they know the answer and will just inflict it on us…if we let them!
The State Governments never ‘give over control’ of anything so what is their overall intention that may well lead to no protection of Australian food crops from the far North?
Under the ‘Sustainable Development’ UN plan to ‘take control of everything’, the ‘removal’ of Agricultural practices from the far North using a bit of geoengineered flooding and/or drought may even be on their cards….forcing farmers off the land.
Given the ‘6uild 6ack 6etter’ plan is 40 chapters (at least), I would guess it’s written in there somewhere.
If there’s no agriculture and no transporting of food, then there is no need for biosecurity.
The Far North will be left to it’s own ‘regeneration’…or not.
Could it be that the ‘woke’ Agricultural Companies may soon have their own ‘hill to die on’.
Fight this or go under.
Like the rest of us.
Everything going according to plan! If ze bugs eat the mangoes, we will have to eat ze bugs!
