can anyone help me with this dot pt?


Evaluate the effectiveness of quarantine in preventing the spread of plant and animal disease into Australia...

thanks

Isolation: high effectiveness because all plant and animal products are placed into isolation for a period of time to let any diseases they carry to incubate.
Declaration of products: has a low to medium effectiveness. This relies strongly on the honesty of the person. People may not know that they have to declare a wood product, because it may have a disease on it.

Here's sone example...There's something about the North of Australia, in which special livestock are tested for signs of a deadly virus carried by some insect from Asia. Because of the sea winds, the insect can easily be 'flown' to Australia.
Have you tried looking up the Quarrantine Website? It may be helpful.

Well, evaluate > make a judgement on.
You could say that quarantine is very effective in halting the spread of diseases into Australia, as the measures used are effective in stopping diseased organisms and pathogens from entering the country.. etc etc
