Just wondering from people who are more in the know. Does this mean the ball is rolling on possibly one day importing birds once again

While i am like Tiaris . . skeptical/ cynical . . and it is too late for me . .
I would advise those who would like to take advantage of this, to view Sam D's presentation in the FSA's video library and transfer those sentiments to "exotic finches"
Start preparing your comments/ submissions now, and be ready for 'the next step'
Don't leave it to the next guy . . He might be leaving it to you
The next step is to prepare and issue a draft report to provide stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the analysis. A Biosecurity Advice will be issued to announce that the draft report has been placed on the department’s website and to invite comments. Following the consultation period, the department will consider all comments in preparing a final report.

If by some miracle the Govt. of the day said yes you can bring finches in where do they come from.
Wild trapped birds are no longer permited to be imported into the UK etc,
Where else would they come from, 3rd world country! I am sure that venue of supply would be rapidly closed down.
The logistics would be staggering, let alone the cost.
I hope I am wrong as we all dream of exotic species.

European and American Breeders can easily supply the Australian market. Millions of birds of all discription were imported into those countries before
the embargo on wild caught birds. Surely a lot of breeders have excess stock, which they could sell on to us.What about birds from zoos worldwide.
I am sure bird dealers will find the stock if there was a Dollar in it.

You need to examine import protocols for Australia be fore you get too exited. Very strict conditions to ensure captive bred origins, protracted quarantine requirements before export and a restricted list of "cold countries".
