Panetta, F.D. (Western Australian Dept. of Agriculture, South Perth)
Routine quarantine procedure can permit entry to species that are known to be weedy elsewhere in the world. An assessment system is presented which evaluates proposed plant introductions on the basis of their potential to become invasive in Australia. Primary considerations are whether taxa are weedy elsewhere and whether they possess noxious characteristics. The system can also be used to determine risk status classifications for contaminants of imported goods
