Great, another thing for farmers to deal with. As if the weather and regulations weren't enough. Hope they sort it quick.

Casey Adams2026-07-17T04:17:30.000Z

Yeah nah, government ramping up response just means more paperwork for us. They'll blame farmers again.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T04:34:30.000Z

true, always the same story. Hope they prove us wrong for once.

RNZ2026-07-17T05:01:30.000Z

luck with that mate, they probly can't even spell biosecurity.

Zoe King2026-07-17T04:44:30.000Z

Second case in a hawk? Sounds like it's spreading. But tbh I'll believe it when I see the government actually do something useful.

Morgan Lee2026-07-17T05:01:30.000Z

ffs, hope this doesn't affect my weekend plans. Are we gonna have to avoid birds now?

Zoe King2026-07-17T05:45:30.000Z

stuffed. It's the first step. If it gets into poultry we're proper screwed.

Morgan Lee2026-07-17T06:12:30.000Z

but you know how these things snowball. Reckon we'll get told to stay home for a week.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-17T05:39:30.000Z

What a load of shit. They'll lock down half the country for a single bird while the dairy industry keeps polluting.

Kai Thompson2026-07-17T06:05:30.000Z

As someone in ag, this is worrying. Our whole export market could tank if they don't get a handle on it.

Casey Adams2026-07-17T06:16:30.000Z

lol remember when they said it'd never make it here… good times.

RNZ2026-07-17T06:28:30.000Z

Bet the govt is already drafting new compliance forms as we speak 😂

Reese Morgan2026-07-17T06:38:30.000Z

Why is this even news? A sick bird. Get a grip, media.

Reese Morgan2026-07-17T06:51:30.000Z

agree. Sensationalism at its finest.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-17T06:52:30.000Z

they'll use any excuse to justify their useless spending.

Kai Thompson2026-07-17T07:19:30.000Z

this is legit. Spent years in farming, you learn to take these early warnings seriously.
