Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top End beekeepers report large stock losses during wet season
Q: Julie, can you tell us about the wet season and what it meant for your hives?
The wet season caused massive hive losses and forced adaptations such as importing pollen, keeping more freezers for pollen storage, and feeding bees sugar water to keep them alive, all while focusing on rebuilding for pollination services.
New mung bean variety Green Devil discovered in the Northern Territory
Q: What has made this Green Devil variety unique, and what are its advantages?
It is non-determinant, allowing more growth and potentially bigger yields, and it has been developed to perform well in warmer Northern Australian conditions with robust disease resistance testing, making it well-suited for the region's pulse market.
NT Budget 2026: Interview with Gerard Maley, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining
Q: Is there money in the budget to phase out gill nets and compensate fishers?
There is no fixed amount yet; negotiations are ongoing to determine the license values, with a plan to phase out gill nets and include the buyback in future budgets once the price is settled.
NT Budget 2026: Interview with Gerard Maley, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining
Q: In terms of the budget yesterday, minister, what were the highlights for the primary industries of the Northern Territory?
The minister highlights increased biosecurity funding for agriculture and enhanced support for the fishing industry, including compliance and gear-specific initiatives like the Golden Snapper recovery, while stressing safety and a responsible budget as foundations for attracting investment.
Snake bean breeding trial aims to tackle Fusarium wilt
Q: And explain to our audience, what is phasarium wilt?
Phasarium wilt is a soil-borne fungal disease that persists in soil and causes the plants to wilt and die, reducing reliability of establishment for Asian vegetable growers.
