Four Corners

Outbreak (2018x21)

Uitzenddatum: Jul 02, 2018

Four Corners investigates some of the worst biosecurity breaches in Australian history, uncovering sophisticated smuggling operations, inadequate enforcement and corruption. Last year a devastating exotic disease wiped out much of Queensland's prawn industry, threatening a lucrative trade based on our "clean" reputation and undermining faith in Australia's supposedly fortress-like borders. Now a Four Corners investigation will reveal how Australia's biosecurity measures were defeated by sophisticated smugglers.
