Huh you would think in Australia I would know this.

Some of the snakes here kill us in 15 to 20 minutes

It sounds like it hasn't been a big enough problem yet, but they just want to head it off. And it may have been more helpful in the past. I don't know how long the antivenom test has been faster and more accurate than physically identifying the snake. Either way, bringing the snake now is overall a much worse idea than it probably used to be.
