Psa Litigation

MPI has received the High Court’s decision on the long-running Psa litigation and we are now carefully considering its findings and implications for current and future biosecurity activities.

The 500 page document traverses events dating back 12 years, pre-dating the establishment of MPI, and requires a thorough examination. We cannot rush this process.

Once we have completed consideration of the judgment, a decision will be made on whether to appeal. That decision must be made by the Solicitor-General, not MPI.

Until then, we will be making no further comment.

MPI is continually enhancing and improving the way it manages pre-border risk and processes at the border.

We have confidence in our current biosecurity system and in the continued robustness of it going forward.
