INCREASING numbers of Queenslanders are up in arms over the heavy-handed tactics of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program run by Biosecurity Queensland, which rides roughshod over property rights in the name of “controlling invasive species”.
Section 261 of Queensland’s Biosecurity Act 2014 commenced on 26 April 2019 presumes to give biosecurity officers the right to enter property without permission: “An authorised officer may, at reasonable times, enter the place to take any action authorised by the biosecurity program,” it states.
One recent example was a Brisbane woman Ashleigh Karam describing on social media how her gate padlock was broken and the property entered by a team to carry out treatment.
“The fire ant people come on to my property today and spray my whole yard and I was not home and now my dog will not come out from under my partner’s car and we were not home at the time,” she said.
“We have never had problems with fire ants. We have been in our house for almost 4 years, now they want to do something I’m not happy at all they broke the padlock on my gate to get in.”
Another Brisbane woman posting on Facebook as Jenna Felicity showed video of her very sick rooster standing but unable to lift its head. She said the rooster “flies out and goes walk about” which is apparently when it ate fire ant granules. The hens were kept inside the pen.
The rooster appeared to be showing symptoms of neurotoxicity, which is one of the side effects of hydramethylnon, an insecticide that acted as a neurotoxin, which could also lead to death.
The website of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program claims the poisons they use “are safe for birds and mammals including livestock, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses” – a claim that now appears highly questionable.
Jenna Felicity also posted video of a drone dropping the fire ant baits in the rain, raising concerns about the baits washing into creeks. Fire ant program opponent Trevor Hold posted a photo (inset) of one of the drones used by contractors. He says they are programmed to fly in certain areas and have no manual control.
The dropping of bait from drones is reportedly being done over side areas and without permission of property owners – even those who put up signs warning teams them to keep out.
“Organic farms are losing their status, and property owners are left with the burden of managing the aftermath. If animals die, the cost of proving it falls on individuals through government-controlled testing facilities,” an anonymous post stated.
Another family posted security camera footage on Facebook of a fire ant team walking on to the suburban property and sprinkling the bait around the front yard including directly on to a hedge.
Gold Coast woman Lin Sutherland, who produced a documentary exposing the fire ant program and held a public meeting on the issue in October, said a friend’s cat has started pulling its hair out while another friend’s dog has been vomiting and was sluggish. These were signs of pesticide poisoning, she said.
Another friend’s dog had fluid on the lungs and another friend’s horse was also sick recently, she said. She had discovered that eradication teams had “definitely treated the primary school which is very close by and many paths along where we live.”
Another Gold Coast woman named Sandy Duncan said a fire ant team had visited her street in Palm Beach and she told them not to put the poison granules on her garden.
“I tried to remember the name of the expert that was world-renowned in this field and they said they knew of him and he now sides with them re using the granular poison,” she said.
“One of the younger ones was laughing and I could tell he was thinking I am stupid and don’t know anything. He said the pyroxifene is not poison and asked for my details. I refused to give any of my details and he said next time it would be more of a process.
“I questioned this and said it sounded like a threat. I also said “isn’t there a reasonable excuse like chemical sensitivity?” He said yes, but I would have to prove it. I just wish I was more articulate with info as they just don’t think its poison.”
According to the website of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program fire ant treatments “have undergone rigorous testing and are safe for birds and mammals including livestock, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses.”
“The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has approved fire ant treatments for over 20 years. Pyriproxyfen and S-methoprene in fire ant treatment are not classified as poisons under the Therapeutic Goods (Poisons Standard) Instrument.
“The National Fire Ant Eradication Program’s fire ant treatment products containing either pyriproxyfen or S-methoprene are safe for mammals, including birds and livestock, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses.”
The website says the fire ant program engaged “an independent expert toxicologist” who “confirmed that both pyriproxyfen and S-methoprene have very low acute toxicity to mammals, based on previous studies.
“The risk of adverse effects on mammals is negligible provided that the products are used in accordance with their label directions.”
However these claims are contradicted by other information. Penny Grebert of Palm Beach, a member of Stop the toxic fire ant program, posted on the group’s page that hydramethylnon was an insecticide that acted as a neurotoxin, disrupting the insect’s nervous system and ultimately leading to death.
Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator (IGR) that mimics juvenile hormone, preventing insects from developing into adulthood and thus rendering them unable to reproduce.
She listed, without citing a source, that environmental concerns were that both chemicals “have been linked to environmental contamination and potential harm to non-target aquatic organisms.”
“Pyriproxyfen has been shown to have low volatility, high Kow value (a measure of the relationship between fat solubility and water solubility of a substance), and high lability in aerobic aquatic systems, but is considered persistent in anaerobic systems.
“Hydramethylnon is toxic to wildlife and has been linked to reproductive toxicity and potential human carcinogenicity. Both insecticides have been linked to potential human health risks, including effects on blood and liver function while pyriproxyfen has been associated with microcephaly (birth defect) and bioaccumulation in fish.”
Ms Grebert said the Queensland government had raised concerns about the use of pyriproxyfen and hydramethylnon, citing potential environmental damage and human health risks and “the Queensland Parliament has recommended further studies on the effects of broad-scale insecticide spraying on the environment and human health.”
She said a toxicity study on pyriproxyfen in adult male mice found significant reduction in body and organ weights, as well as probable testicular tissue alterations and damage to testicular architecture.
“In summary, while both hydramethylnon and pyriproxyfen are insecticides with distinct modes of action, they share concerns regarding environmental contamination, human health risks, and potential toxicity to non-target organisms. Further research and regulatory scrutiny are warranted to ensure the safe use of these chemicals.”
Cairns News is still unable to confirm the report of a Lockyer man who said he caught a fire ant team planting ants on his property. A close contact of the man said he was ill and not able to talk at length.

Sorry, but no one has any credibility, transparency, ethics, integrity or honor when they are funded by Industry.
The dingo cannot be left to guard the sheep.
This happens in so many areas and it is disgraceful.
The agvet chemicals industry currently funds around 95% of the APVMA’s $43m annual budget through fees, charges and levies.
There are Natural Fire Ant Control without Chemicals.
So many ‘trusting members of the public’ FAIL TO TAKE ACTION in so many things that are allegedly thrust in their faces by politicians / MSM et al.. > AND THAT ACTION BEING TO QUESTION EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME.
All people must have a thirst for knowledge and above all, a thirst for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Question Everything.
See the people’s Revolution on the Fire Ant Disaster too.
On their page WATCH VIDEO – Our Fire Ant Disaster!
In the finest tradition of government and bureaucracy, they’ve so totally messed it up.
In Queensland they’ve admitted to using the wrong poison, dropping it in the wrong place, killing the aquatic life but not the fire ants!
A billion dollars has been spent in 20 years and the problem is now 20 times worse.

How about retracting your previous story accusing workers of spreading fire ants…. Written and published with absolutely no evidence
I’m sure this story is the same, made up bull with no evidence
Gold coast off leash dog park adjacent my property was “treated for FIRE ANTS.
Within a few weeks my healthy 9year old dog changed his habits to a point I changed his diet…then the seizures started..6 Weeks later the seizures were outta control..my dog wouldn’t visit dog park without coaxing.. I HAD TO PUT HIM DOWN..😭.. Fire ant baits???🤬
These people need to be charged with trespass. How about sending the individuals a bill for the time they spend on your property, damaging your property and using up your time? Everyone needs to have a no trespass sign on their gate or the boundary of their property. A good cure for poison is charcoal. Our dog had two ticks on his head and we fed him bits of charcoal and he is fine. Before we knew this we had lost two dogs to ticks. Another way is crush up charcoal and put it in the drinking water.
On this side of the COVID scamdemic it’s surprising people are not more suspicious of industrial poisons. But they will be crying and demanding compensation and treatment in years to come when they get cancer.
No proof that the fire ant staff broke the lock. Person posted on the cookers group they weren’t home so did not see it happen. They claim fire ants staff were on the property and she said the lock wasn’t broken. They don’t carry bolt cutters around. She is also the nutcase who claimed her dog hid under the car and wouldn’t come out. I wondered whether it was written by a 10 year old because it was just plain stupidity at its finest.
Funny how all these conspiracy theories come out and Trevor Holds name appears with each story and now he’s having a toddler tantrum and threatening a hungry strike because no one at the fire ant program wants to to talk to him. The simpleton can’t work out why. He’s the one in need of a therapist or is it a Psychiatrists. On the bullchit metre I give him a 12/10

Are these people, the same people telling “Cairns News” blog, the same people who claim they have video of people planting fireants?
Where’s the video?
Where’s the proof?
Why the holdup?
Who’s telling us that these videos exist and why aren’t they releasing the video?
Who are they?
Release the video!
These people are all programmed
We saw during Covid19 how we tried to warn loved ones but to no avail. and a lot of people where cruelly rejected by their family, friends and loved ones
Then we saw the BS reaction from other so called trusted sources during this time
This is deeper than most of us realise (MK Ultra)
This truly is a fight of Good against evil
To escape this Matrix, Stop voting for ALL current politicians is a good start as they don’t give a rats arse and are a part of the NWO, I don’t care how lovely they come across
The system is broken.
It’s FUCKED!
We need to start again and this time stop giving our power away to someone else that is a smooth talker in a smart suit with a crocodile smile as they are probably a smelly fkn 🦎hybrid that remains silent about pedo’s and child / human sex trafficking!
People have more power than they realise but they just have to stop outsourcing their power to politicians!
Military is the only way!
When someone violates your property rights under Constitutional Law, you are entitled to remove them in any way that you can, dead or alive.
So the fact that they entered your property without your permission should give you equal right to enter their property without their permission and also spray to your hearts content with something of your choosing.
Trespass is trespass. These goons have no right to enter your property without your consent.
As for drones… number 3 or 4 shot in a twelve gauge would work most likely, but they open up a raft of other bogus offenses. Corporate mercenaries would come a-knockin’ loaded for bear.
Simple fix for these trespassing break and enter thieves, since they cost you a lock and cantaminated your property, is to find where they live, spray it with fuel to kill the fireants on their property or house, and light it up to be sure the fireants are all dead.
This may seem to be nearly as bad as them spraying poison on and endandering lives on your property, but it is only equally as dangerous in effect.
After they suffer the loss of their fireants, they may not feel the need to worry about anyone elses.
FYI
This is what happens when a Marxist demonic evil system begins to fail
They underestimated ‘We the people’

Drones to dispense bait? fair dinkum sports fans a shot gun will deal with that , stop complaining if they have no permission to fly over your property that drone is yours when it hits the ground , it shouldn’t be there in the first place without your permission fire ants or no fire ants.
Stop voting in these same parasite politicians over and over
They are two heads of the same coin
Fair dinkum, its like fkn ground hog day
The system is broken
Apart from a piss poor token effort by very few politicians, they’ve all done sweet FA!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I’m just waiting on this next Simpson prophecy by Matt Groening who was a 33% freemason with looking glass technology to come to fruition so people wake up to what is happening around them.

Very true, Mr.NoWhereMan
Since the unlawful parties masquerading as our Govt’s rejected God’s sovereignty through the Constitution and rejected the truth of Jesus Christ as King of Kings, lord of lords and judge of judges, they as corrupted lawless entities have also rejected God’s holy spirit of truth and love.
They have zero ability to think rationally and have zero loving hearts to guide their lawless minds in love and truth.
King David wrote long ago knowing how the end result would occur due to the great increase of lawlessness on the earth.
“God ( Jehovah Elohim ) said to my Lord ( Jesus Christ ), sit at my right side whilst I bring this wicked world system to ruination, and I will put all your enemies beneath your feet as your footstool”
Jesus also said “Due to the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will cool off”
When leaders, teachers etc have no love for God, they lose all ability to gain rational directions for their minds through love, because they have rejected God who is the source of Love.
They become mindless fools, grasping at straws and always failing.
Jesus also said that God will cut the times short for this wicked world system otherwise the world would become so severely insane with hate and violence,( like we see in Palestine today, from the hate of the Talmud Jews, slaughtering women and children ), that no one could be saved from the world.
The Apostle Paul also tells us the time will come when God will send his opposers who do not believe the truth, a powerful “Delusion”, leading them to believe what is false……..
2Thessalonians 2, 10-12
This appears to be greatly speeding up the end times before Jesus Christ’s total rulership, with no successors of men.

People ought to understand, that the Commonwealth of Australian Constitution Act 1900 expired at the end of 1999. That includes the constitution of every State or Territory. A constitution is a contract, and every contract or lease has only a lifespan of ninety-nine [99] years. This is universally accepted to be the lifespan of a human being taken from the time that he or she is capable of self-reasoning and providing informed consent. One generation cannot lawfully determine how a future one should be governed. When the Federal Constitution expired by the year 2000, so did every constitution of a State or Territory. This was the true reason for the Federal Election in 1999 under the guise of becoming a republic.
Because every constitution of a State or Territory was incorporated under the Federal Constitution, they expired all at the same time. Hence, we are back to the common law also known as the Law of Nature. This is the original law that came with Creation although not codified, of course, but installed within all species created, including man. All people, born anywhere, were born with sovereign rights. Hence, we are all the highest authority in matters that involve ourselves. We are bluffed, by intimidation, that Australian governments still exist and can exercise authority over us. They claim that we had voted for them at elections. However, such a claim is fraudulent. Only post year 2000, the Federal Electoral Act made it compulsory for fictional ‘Australian CITIZENS’ to vote. However, at the last Constitution Convention in 1898, Dr John Quick had raised a motion seeking to have a sub-section included to s.51 (xix) naturalization and aliens which would define an Australian ‘citizen’ but that motion, following a full debate, had been DEFEATED and as such would have required a National Referendum post-1999 to obtain the lawful consent of the Australian people to come into law.
Sorry about the duplication. Didn’t think it had gone through the first time.
Trespass is a criminal offence. By authority High Court of Australia. Plenty v Dillon (1991) 171 CLR 635 F.C. 91/004. Notice to all persons and entities living, corporate, private or otherwise. Including but not limited to: Police, Sheriff, Servers, Debtors or Agents of, Australia Post, Courier or Delivery Agents, Government Agents, Army, Agents and Representatives of the Crown or State, Federal, State and or Local Agents and or Representatives of Local, State, Federal or Crown Agencies. It goes on – Offenders will be prosecuted and penalised one million dollars ($1,000,000) Australian (per offence UCC 3-149) including but not limited to garnishing of private and personal assets in lieu of injury caused by violation of this trespass notice. etc, etc.
Trespass is a criminal offence. By authority High Court of Australia. Plenty v Dillon (1991) 171 CLR 635 F.C. 91/004. Trespass applies without prior consent or prior invitation. The trespass notice states “Notice to all persons and entities living, corporate, private or otherwise. Including but not limited to: Police, Sheriff, Servers,Debtors or Agents of, Australia Post, Courier, or delivery agents, Government agents, Army, Agents and/or Representatives of The Crown or State, Federal, State and/or Local Agents and/or Representatives of Local,State, Federal or Crown Agencies.” Offenders will be prosecuted and penalized one million dollars (1,000,000) Australian (per offence UCC 3-419) incluiding but not limited to garnishing of private and personal assets in lieu of injury caused by violation of this trespass notice. etc, etc.
Forget the court system. Fight them the way the Russians do-Physically confront and attack them for intruding, eg Slash their tires. When they know they are acting unlawfully intruding your property they will not take you to court.
If the chemicals aren’t toxic to animal life why are they being used to “kill” fire ants..??
If a cure is better than toxic chemical treatment and if there was a cheap natural way to destroy nests why are chemical industrialists always getting the gig? Apparently injecting boiling water directly into a nest destroys it like a slightly modified steam cleaning van would probably do. If this actually does work I am sure all people would cooperate and search and destroy could be implemented.
‘Blind’ baiting is reckless and retarded. A more direct approach is needed if it is to be eradicated not the pro-grifter ‘managed’ BS.
Governments mostly always turn into monsters hellbent on removing our rights.
How do you know a pollie or public official or their lackeys are lying? Their lips are moving or they are writing something.

The war is multidimensional.
The devil is what is energizing and coordinating it. The degraded mind-controlled humans are largely oblivious/unconscious of how they are being controlled and used.
The worldview(and identity) they have had installed through various belief-systems and technical exploits since birth has rendered most of them spiritual cripples thereby detaching them from Real Intelligence.
They/it rules mathematically, through probabilities and predictability, they have reduced humans to Pavlov’s Dog…
They cannot deal with real inspiration and spontaneity, which is of The Spirit of Truth. They try to copy it or steal it’s result, take credit for it, and if that doesn’t work they try to annihilate awareness of It.
They think they’ve stolen enough, and that AI can sustain them now.
That which Knows Everything need not think about anything, they don’t want people reconnecting with That. Because then it’s Game Over.
The synthetic, artificial, virtual mode of life will never measure up to The Real…not even close.
