Does anyone have any info on the status of the BD
preps in the OZ ag regs???

I'd be surprised if anyone has thought about this
- organic certification is still not in the hands of officialdom, we have
pesticide regs administered by a mix of ag dept and EPA, workcover also gets
involved, its all about the suing you know, and about protecting access to
overseas markets, has very little to do with safety, so last time I
looked you can legally spray endosulfan on tomatoes three days before local
consumption but must observe a six month witholding for grass pasture consumed
by beef cattle.
If I was in your position I think I'd go first
for NASA certification as an organic input - that would probably open most of
the other doors you need, we have a Australia NZ free trade agreement in place
to ease the pain.
