OPINION: Last week's announcement of Prime Minister’s new Science and Technology Advisory Council hasn’t gone down too well in the science community.
From last week the cows have been dining on brie, camembert and chorizo -- all foods which fall foul of the ban.
Until now, food found by government inspectors to be from Europe and North America was simply returned to its country of origin.
