The OP
... riiiight. Be a good chap and play nice by including context, hey?
At the moment what Phil described is acceptable under Qld. State regs,
if maybe poor practice.
I'll stand correction as regs are dynamic and I am not a clockwatcher.
As to your question (paraphrased) "how would they know".
Just one of a few options;
In Qld. and some other Australian States the many authorities who guard
us from ourselves [/cue cynicism] have far more reaching powers than the
copper running around town in a patrol car. Then there is a layer of
Federal control over that...and as just one probabilty - note wording -
the Feds now have access to our metadata, and with that the right to
access personal information unchallenged.
So, in that scenario many of the posts I have read would attract visitors at
home, in the event of a biosecurity event being escalated to priority.
No?
Well you will not see me posting "aint been in me longLang in six months"
as comment on folks as yourself touting your beekeeping sees different.
Compliments.
