He was told the results would be in the mail within one week.

However, 55 days after his steers had blood and fat samples taken by government vets, Mr Andress is still playing the waiting game.

Queensland Country Life reported last week that after Mr Andress spoke out at a Kingaroy public meeting, Sustainability Minister Kate Jones said a representative from the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) would contact Mr Andress and discuss the results.

However, DEEDI this week washed its hands of the issue, claiming they had no responsibility to provide any answers because the affected areas were not quarantined.

It took several inquiries by Queensland Country Life to receive this blunt refusal from DEEDI.

Ms Jones said this week she thought a departmental representative had contacted him about the results, however Mr Andress said no such contact had been made. "I even have an answering machine and no message has been left either," he said.

His property was one of five in the affected region tested by DEEDI.

Mr Andress said landholders in the region could not honestly sell their cattle until the test results were known.

However, following further inquiries by Queensland Country Life, Ms Jones' office and DEEDI declined to say if the other affected landholders had been provided with any test results.

They also refused to provide a date when any further contact with Mr Andress would be made.

Mr Andress said the State Government should show some "decency" and reveal what it knows about the results. He said he was still hopeful "common sense would prevail" and someone would contact him.

"If the State Government thought it important enough to get the blood and fat samples taken in the first place, then I think it is simple courtesy that they would give us the results," he said.

"They have a duty to notify us. I don't think that it is an unreasonable request."
