why are they that?
they are not grown in decent soil and are contaminated by human
waste , bad chemicals are used and the certainly run the risk iof
importing disease which we have of sign of


How do you know this?

D
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.

eat it I don't care , remember this decision came from a government
that blew billions on silly schemes and killed people in the process


What has this got to do with the importing of apples? Nothing really it's
just an anti government rant.


the apples /greatwall are low quality and taste like it
watch your tv as I am sure this subject will arise again


When did you eat these Chinese apples? What kind were they? In what way
were they bad?

I'll save you the trouble, you haven't actually eaten any apples that could
be identified as Chinese, instead you are having another generalised rant.
