**Kangaroo management: Changes to non-commercial landholder licences**
Effective from today, the NSW Government has made changes to landholder licences to harm kangaroos to reduce populations as part of a package of drought relief measures.
Experienced shooters with a current Firearms Licence and suitable firearms are invited to list their details on the Local Land Services (LLS) Kangaroo Shooter Register. Shooter details on the register are available to licensed landholders seeking assistance from professional or volunteer shooters.
You do not need a NSW Game Hunting Licence to participate.

That's a good move. Although I'm in qld I'd reckon if ya a shooter in NSW or even southern qld (if it's allowed ) get involved if ya can.

Maybe it will wear off but it is the main reason I heard for not allowing access. Even the local electricity meter reader has been told to keep to the access road and not cut across paddocks. Then there is a mate who runs an earth moving business that now has to completely wash down his equipment before entering a new property.
None of this rubbish was around years ago. Then there is a neighbour (hobby farmer) who doesn't care to spray his weeds, even after being served with a weeds notice. Not that he drives around here but I don't want him to either spreading his rotten Serrated Tussock seed that would be everywhere under his vehicle.

If you want to sell any Livestock and most crops in Australia, you will need to comply with the new Biosecurity laws.
As far as I can see, it's been introduced to keep a small proportion of specialist producers happy, and at the expense of everyone else. Our state Agri-Political organization stayed silent about the implications of the implementation of the new Biosecurity laws for THREE FREAKING YEARS, and then basically told us all we wouldnt be able to sell any livestock if we dont comply.
It is freaking, utterly stupid CRAP, and the people enforcing it dont care how unrealistic the new laws have become.
Dont assume it's the Landholder pushing this; they have ended up being the meat in a freaking big sandwich (that's considering going full vegan)...
At one stage, we were going to be expected to log the entry/exit of every vehicle that comes onto the place. Given there is 18kms of B-Class public road running through the middle of the property, just how likely is it we can get everyone to sign 'the book'?? Our mailman is barely able to actually deliver or pick up mail, so what chances have I got of that nut-case signing the book twice a week?
Biggest load of horse-poop EVER.
Take a look at how 2-faced the Biosecurity laws are, when you look at the excessive restrictions on landholders, compared to the fact that importers seem to keep importing infected seafood!
Every time I hear someone talk about the importance of Biosecurity in this country, I have to resist punching them in the face.
I'm all for protecting our ability to produce, but it has to be realistic and practical; not La-La Land garbage.
Sorry; Rant over.
Cheers,
Rod.
