SE QUEENSLAND - WE HAVE A PROBLEM - PART 1

Imagine government agents arriving at a peaceful private property, accompanied by heavily armed police officers. They force their way in against the owners' will. Their mission? To spread chemical poisons. The target? An ant that isn't even there.
This isn't happening in some remote authoritarian country. It's happening right now in Southeast Queensland, Australia. And it's being carried out in the name of protecting the community.
Over $1.2 billion of taxpayer money has been allocated to the National Fire Ant Eradication Program, which is attempting the largest fire ant eradication effort ever undertaken worldwide. Yet after more than two decades, the ants continue to spread. The area now infested spans over 850,000 hectares.
But some things don't add up. And thousands of Queenslanders are demanding answers.

This is Part 1 of a documentary containing facts and questions about this program and the harm it is causing to the people and the environment. It also calls on Queensland Premier Crisafulli to step up and address the concerns of the people.
