How do you know this?

it's fact
if you want more google it

My position is that AQIS make these decisions based on available evidence
and on the whole do a good job in a difficult situation. There are always
competing interests in these cases and many would like to use laws relating
to keeping out plant disease (for example) in place of tariff barriers to
reduce overseas competition. These are the barriers which our government is
trying to break down because they cost us more in the long run when raised
by other countries against our primary producers.

If you say that AQIS haven't made the right decision in this case then show
me the evidence. If you want me to accept what you say then you make the
argument, don't expect me to make it for you.
