Botulism would seem to be ruled out in this interview with the family. 45 minutes cooking meat in pressure cooker is surely enough! Doctors seem to think that it was not typical for botulism. Suspicion again falling on the meat being from 1080 poisoned wild animals.

Don't make up drivel stories, read the link below. You seem to have an agenda with 1080? Both botulism and 1080 have been ruled out by the tests. An earlier article quoted the Health authorities saying a human would have to eat a cereal bowl full of 1080 for it to have any effect. So many people get hysterical in the 1080 debate. Whether 1080 should be used to control rodents and possums to save our native birdlife, with by-kill of deer and other animals is another debate.

Noting the comments by the family that a bowl of the curried wild pork was still fresh after 35 days would lead one to suspect they have inadvertently put some preservative of some kind in the mix when preparing their meal or it may have been added to the pork (too much of)by the person who supplied the meat. The head of the family was not a hunter as susequent news articles have told us. He was given meat (he had a freezer full) by others. The wild pork was not the only ingredient used to prepare their meal. Their children were not effected because they were asleep and did not eat anything of the meal, not just the pork.
Sometimes people when investigating things,including authorities, get so focused on what they think is the obvious answer they can't see the forest for the trees.
