Sorry Syd,
There must be a problem, as that link doesn't quite work - gets to the
site, but can't find the right page within the site.

better
for b-aus to get it several times than risk not getting it.
I have private contact with a public official in Canberra and asked
for
advice on the Savannah Cat situation, mentioning that I was alarmed
at what
I was reading on birding-aus.
I received the following advice:
"The Minister has issued a statement for public comment. The
link is:
http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/trade-use/invitecomment/savannah
-cat.html
"This statement is based on the current live trade policy which has
implications regarding the 5th generation of these cats being
allowed into
Australia. I know the Minister's office is keen to hear from
concerned
groups, so while I do not subscribe to Birding-aus I suggest this
group puts
in a submission outlining their concerns regarding the importation
of these
cats so the Minister can take these views into consideration when he
makes
his final decision. The public comment period closes 17th July 2008."
(End of quote)
I have not looked at the site, but hope that more competent b-aus
subscribers will do so and persuade the Minister not to allow
importation of
these cats.
