errr its not the "dirt" as such but what parasites, insects etc that maybe in the dirt.Do you fart? That's bigger threat to biosecurity than dirt on your shoes. No offence intended, just plain fact.
Oh in case you don't fart at all, then you are a ticking eco-time-bomb.
Eh? I strongly DWTA. Especially at the personal question of integrity, residence and food habits. I am a vegan since my childhood, and I fart like any other Irishman but only when on a potato diet, which has become pretty rare.Spot who knows nothing about biosecurity.
Anything could be on your shoes, what if some form of insectiside, some random insect etc was on them? I doubt you fart insects or poisonous chemicals, unless you have some eating habits you'd like to tell us about
EDIT: and as a good Otago lad Susu, I would have thought you'd known this.
Do not agree. NZ is completely devoid of parasites insects and stuff?
You are correct new Zealand contains every know insect, soil-borne disease and weeds know to man. Its not the direct effect on humans but the damage it could do to our agricuture industry, faming industry and our native flora.
So cricketers coming from India have more parasites, ecocites on them which can pummell NZ's agri sector into deep chasm of trouble due to the dirt on their shoes??? Has it ever occured to you that then the planes coming from India should be washed rinsed and cleaned before it enters NZ airspace then? As they carry more surface dust than anything that it contains??
Of course some insects and such are going to get through, its called minimising the risk.
i don't know why you are even trying to argue this point unless you know more about ecology and agriculural pests that MAF.
Yeah, coz farting is exactly the same as possibly bringing in foreign matter via cricket shoes. Who knows what he could have on the bottom of those?Do you fart? That's bigger threat to biosecurity than dirt on your shoes. No offence intended, just plain fact.
Oh in case you don't fart at all, then you are a ticking eco-time-bomb.
I see you think we are having a crack at India, it doesn't matter wether you come from India, Australia, the UK or anywhere the same strick rules apply.
Look, we aren't the ones who are in charge of things like bio-security, we're just explaining to you why shoes should be clean before you enter another country. It's especially important coming into a country like NZ, which does not contain some of the things you'll find in India.
I guess you never heard about the "fart tax" our government was trying to bring in for cows
I give up. I was trying to take this rant to a superlative level, but epic fail myself.
And I can only laugh at the direness of the laws considering they are ****ing trying to "isolate" the eco-system which is impossible, futile and sometimes better.
Well, since it's "plain fact", I look forward to you providing the supporting links. Seriously, you're clueless.
Let's vote it out.
Fairly decent squad there, although I would have preferred Badrinath and Pathan over Vijay and Balaji. This has to be the last chance saloon for Munaf, he has to prove he is capable of running out a whole series (not just a game here or there) and bowling quick with a bit of reverse the whole time. Otherwise, he should be given an extended break. I reckon Dhawal is a good pick - tends to move the ball around and NZ conditions should be conducive to his bowling style.
His constant 5-0 predictions, his insipid practical jokes, his dumb**** sledging that he couldn't take himself.Why McGrath?
