Quarantine inspection kad. They inspect most products coming in and leaving the country for pests of quarantine concern. In my line of work we employ AQIS Authorised officers to inspect what we export for issues of quarantine concern of the destination country. Mostly weed seeds and live insects.

Most smart people buy aussie prawns for bait to avoid these issues but there's a few that don't think.

Ohhhhhhhhhh I see! So th non aussie prawns may introduce fish viruses because they are meant for food not bait where as aussie prawns come from the water so it's all good. Makes sense now! Learn something new every day.

I'll make sure to only buy aussie prawns now.

What about squid rings and tubes from the supermarkets are they safe to use as bait.
