Pat's Note: The results of the PMWS tests were expected in September.
They have still not reported.
Be interesting for Britain's SVS if they are positive...
Meantime...

Pork producers allowed to pursue case in quarantine fight
Thursday, 27/10/2005
The High Court will allow Australian Pork Limited (APL) to pursue its
case against quarantine measures for imported pig meat.
The pork industry wants to overturn a decision by the Federal
Government to allow imports from countries affected by the pig disease,
post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS).
Justice McHugh has agreed to expedite the case, which means the High
Court will hear the application for special leave to appeal next month
and if the industry wins there will be a full hearing next year.
APL chief executive Andrew Spencer says a PMWS outbreak could cost
Australia as much as $200 million every year.
"It's important that this case is expedited because every day that we
are continuing to import pig meat into this country is another day that
we carry the risk of importing exotic disease with it," he said.
