Australian farmers are pleading for “calm and common sense” in the wake of disturbing new images that show a couple pins further contaminating the agribusiness sector.
More than 100 reports of tampered fruit are being investigated by police across the country, many of which are thought to be fake or copycat cases because the Australan media is covering this anti-social trend with the same excitement that Fox News reports on a school shooting.
While supermarkets take matters into their own hands by installing blue lights in the fruit veg section, the federal government yesterday announced a new roll-out on no-questions-asked fruit injecting rooms in a preventative measure to restrict public exposure to the tampered fruit.
However, today’s photos is a clear indication that the farming sector is still very much at risk, after a long pair of pale pins were spotted in a prominent New England supermarket.
“Its not a good look for us farmers” said one local strawberry grower, Nat Savoter.
“There’s been reports of these same kinds of pins travelling as far as New Zealand. So who knows if they actually came from there originally, but the Australian agricultural sector is strugging because of it”
