  4. We are now having to eradicate this Moth with Aerial Spraying, but this eradication programme will cost our government $90 million out of OurTax Payers’ money. Cost of eradication programme so far, THE Sad news is there is more SPRAYING to come

  5. The Health Effects on people from the spray they are using(Foray 48b Btk)

  6. Reason Why they are Spraying this Moth The only reason that the Government is Eradicating this Moth is that an Overseas investor from an Asian Country will invest $400 million into our Forestry, but only if this Moth is Eradicated first. PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE?

  7. Is there a moral to this story ?Yes THE MORAL TO THIS STORY IS : THIS IS ALL TO DO WITH POLITICS ‘POLI’ IN LATIN MEANS -------------- MANY ‘TICS’ MEANS ----- BLOOD SUCKING LEACHES SAY NO MORE! WHY?

  8. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT STOP THIS ERADICATION PROGRAMME There are alternative ways of eradicating this Moth using ground spraying instead, which won’t be detrimental to our health. So why aren't they listening to us, that is the question. This has got to STOP
