Fire ants aren’t just a backyard nuisance—they’re one of Queensland’s most dangerous invasive pests, threatening agriculture, native ecosystems, and public safety.
In this episode, we sit down with Ken Cunliffe, a dedicated rural advocate and key leader in the fight against fire ants. As a member of the AgForce Biosecurity Committee and a strategic contributor to the Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program, Ken brings deep insight into the challenges, victories, and urgency of the response.
We discuss:
- Ken’s journey and what drives his passion for biosecurity
- How fire ants spread—and how communities can help stop them
- The truth about fire ant treatments and public safety
- The story behind the FAST teams and their boots-on-the-ground impact
- Powerful examples of regional action making a difference
- AgForce’s advocacy role behind the scenes—and what’s next for the program
- Why now is the time for all Queenslanders to act
Whether you're a landholder, local leader, or just passionate about protecting our rural way of life—this conversation is full of insight and practical action.
🧑🌾 Proudly brought to you by AgForce Queensland, working to protect Queensland’s agriculture and communities through policy, advocacy, and action.
