message: Concern is mounting amongst ecologists, biologists, other scientists and environmentalists about an evident watering down of Australia's quarantine regulation.   Much of this is due to Australia's membership of the World Trade Organisation, whose quarantine regulations are far weaker than Australia's and wholly inadequate for protecting Australia's unique flora and fauna.  Due to Australia's membership of the World Trade Organisation, many forms of raw produce once banned from being imported are now being imported.  A notable example is the important of raw salmon product from Canada, enforced on Australia after an appeal to the World Trade Organisation.  From the point of view of any ecologists, biologists, other scientist, environmentalist or indeed any person concerned about Australia's unique and highly endemic and vulnerable flora and fauna, this is completely, utterly unacceptable and indefensable.  Future ecological disasters are inevitable if these foolish practices continue.  The devastating impacts of exotic Chytrid fungus in Australia, which has forced several Australian frog species to extinction, and is threatening numerous other Australian frog species with extinction, is an example of the devastating effects that will occur when exotic disease organisms inevitably enter the country with imported raw produce.

message: Is there a reason, that the article does not address the topic of feral dogs in Australia? Sure, they can't really be classified as invasive since the domestic dog has been in Australia for millenia in the form of the dingo but should the topic not be adressed to prevent misunderstandings?--Inugami-bargho (talk) 07:57, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does the generic phrase "feral species" redirect to a page solely about invasive species in Australia? Shouldn't it redirect to the more general "invasive species" page? 76.106.194.104 (talk) 21:11, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

message: The entry "Bactrian camels" was added by a now indef-blocked user last year, without providing a source. While historically some bactrians may have been imported in the 19th century, the current references to control of feral camels in Australia refer exclusively to dromedaries, so I'm removing this entry.
