A dedicated, coordinated response for invasive species should be established through the creation of species-specific agencies with joint federal-state funding.

Invasive species management in Australia is stuck in a cycle of reaction: once a pest is established, we throw billions at containment while the damage grows. The missing piece is prevention. Fusion's proposal would establish dedicated species-specific agencies with joint federal-state funding and formal recognition as authorised biosecurity agents. That means coordinated action, clear accountability, and the power to act before a species becomes entrenched. No more passing the buck between levels of government. This is a pending vote in our platform. Help us push for a prevention-first approach. #auspol #biosecurity https://go.fusionparty.org.au/u7ju9

Right now, invasive species management is a patchwork of state programs and reactive funding. Fusion's proposal: create species-specific agencies with joint federal-state funding, recognised as biosecurity agents under the laws of each state. That means a dedicated, coordinated response for species like feral pigs, gamba grass, or yellow crazy ants. Before they do irreversible damage. It's a shift from punishing the aftermath to preventing the invasion in the first place. This is a pending vote proposal in our Reclaim platform. We want to turn this into law.
