Bush turkeys?
When I was up there the blackfella's called the bustard a "bush turkey", but they're protected, or were back in the '90's.
Biggest feral problem where I was was donkey herds. The were culling them by helicopter back then.

I think all animals are protected. Even non-natives need to be declared feral or given pest status before we can shoot them.
