If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.

Always my fav chart from the GCB, and here's the 2025 update.
