https://lnkd.in/gn3g2Xat Given Australia's vast approvals for use of these insecticides, you can see the myth making of regulator in plain sight. The myth is they claim to have a central purpose to protect human and environmental health. The reality is they approve an ever expanding inventory of toxic chemicals, using inadequate assessment methodologies, that lack transparency, which result in there being ever greater volumes of pesticides in use, causing ever more off-target exposures, and driving ever more toxic harm. The APVMA undertake no coherent effort to checking their assumptions about risk mitigation are in fact safe. There is scarcely any monitoring. Neonicotinoids appear unsafe for your neurological health, and that of the insect kingdom, and the broader aquatic community of zooplankton. Perhaps mention this to someone, like your MP.
