Nice to see an article in a major outlet with an overall positive presentation of hunting.

Well we are being robbed blind by the meat industry in this country . A kilo of Australian grass fed beef is $8 AU equivalent in China ?
Why are we paying $60 a kilo where the meat comes from . ???

Great article. Very wholesome.

thanks for posting . that's probably one of the best written and explanatory pieces i've seen about hunting. great educational piece for the average person who has no idea on hunting . wow the abc has really turned around since they sacked a few extreme lefty's out of management a few years ago

[Oldbloke]

Good to read that again. Was posted about a year ago I think.
This I find interesting.

"According to the Game Management Authority, game licences with an entitlement to hunt deer have risen from around 7,000 in the mid-1990s to nearly 50,000 in 2023."

[Wm.Traynor]

That is the best article so I shared it to my twitter page.

Its a very "leftist" article really.

Hunting stags was not so long ago a pursuit reserved only for the upper class.
Not today. These are working class people doing it in their spare time.
This is in Victoria. Most deer hunters are tradies.
If it wasn't for the trade unions threatening mass industrial action recently duck hunting would have been banned here.
Power to the people

[bigrich]

me personally i'm not into hunting stags for trophies anymore . i got a 14 point red a few years ago and had it mounted on my wall . that's enough for me . i'd rather take a doe for meat these days

Excuse me? Even my market steers are getting $5+/kg LIVE WEIGHT at the local quick-sale-yards, that's bones, skin and all. That's not correct info mate, I dunno who is BS'ing you. Imagine the cost added in transport, processing, and frozen shipping to Asia.
And $60/kg beef sure ain't the scraps off the bones that go into your 20% fat mince, either. It's the eye fillet, sirloin and the best rump...

I'll be that guy...

White male hunts = bad, animal abuse, toxic masculinity

Women hunts = good and empowering, you go girl, challenging gender sterotypes

[Wapiti]

You're spot on there.

I don’t see the correlation hunting and toxic masculinity. I don’t see any negative effects on the individual or society.
I don’t see the relevance of white male. I’m white and my ancestors have been hunters since they came down from the trees and took to the savanas about 300,000 years ago.
It’s not who I am. But it is what I am as a species. A highly evolved predator.
It’s why I don’t have body hair. So I can moderate my body temperature chasing game. It’s why my eyes are on the front of my head. It’s why I have canine teeth etc.
And the only reason I’m white is to regulate my vitamin d intake in the northern hemisphere. Or I would be extinct.

There is absolutly nothing wrong with being white, or hunting, but the 'ultra woke' abc often condemn hunting and aren't too fond of white people (especially straight males) at the moment.

Basically the culture at ABC and most other mainstream media outlets is full of marxists/lefties/greens who view the world through a lens most people with half a brain fail to make sense of (intersectionality) and hold everything to massive double standards...

99% of the articles on the ABC will talk about how bad hunting is and condemn hunters... That is until a girl does it and it's all of a sudden a good thing because of female empowerment.

Not looking to start fights, cry about it or winge (or keep hunting as a blokes only activity) just an observation of media bias

[womble]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an article from the abc condemning hunting or hunters.
Makes no difference to me if the article featured a man or a woman.

i agree with most of what you've posted. in recent times i've seen some articles from the abc that have actually been reasonably factual , especially on feral pigs . i can't remember the last time i've seen a article on hunting or ferals in the MSM . running stories like them probably don't help MSM ratings with your average left leaning city type . there's definitely a lot of double standards in our society these days

[fussy]

It's free-range, organic, sustainably harvested.

Yeah but mate, show me a clip from the ABC about feral pigs that suggests that
1. The current control methods are proven now to be inadequate and a failure, especially considering the cost state govts are reluctantly throwing at it, and;
2. How the promotion and support of hunting, using incentives and a relaxation of red tape and political meddling could show a better outcome overall for native species, agriculture and business as a whole in country areas.

Wouldn't that be an idea. Gee, I bet that'll be a long time coming.

1. abc have been banging that drum for years.

2. Hunting when it was previously allowed national parks courtesy abc

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-22/bill-passes-for-hunting-in-nsw-national-parks/4085824

I don’t think think they’ve written an article as yet on the recent hunting bill in nsw. The only article I’ve seen thus far was the Sydney morning herald

But anyway. Now show me some right wing news articles.

[Oldbloke]

ABC is usually fairly balanced. Not always, but mostly. But they do have an agenda regarding disabilities and LBGQR, abo's etc.

Of course all those that lean right hate the ABCs guts. Probably because they time and again, display neutral reporting.

10, 9, 7, Sky, they lean so far right, got me beat how any of the reporters/presenters remain standing.

[womble]

No it’s because they’re told to. Only the super rich should control the narrative. Control knowledge. Teach you how to think. What to consume.

Murdock has been trying to destroy all public media since he founded newscorp. The public must be told what to think. What to believe.

Unbiased media only allows people to make up their own minds. Not win their support

I see 7 9 & 10 as left leaning and pushing all the LGBT, Aboriginal rights etc with Sky news as the only right-leaning source.

Sky is the only social conservative right leaning.
But often commercial media is still right leaning from a political perspective. It operates for profit and its owners don’t want to pay tax and want to maximise profit above all else. And often that tends to be corrupting.
But not always. There are other incentives that recognise integrity. Because most journalists want that reputation.
Take the associated press or Reuters for example. Their integrity is essential to their market share.
This probably doesn’t include channel 9 lol

But Sky doesn’t claim to be news. Because the courts ruled against that.
It’s considered entertainment and registered as that.
It’s opinion based only. It’s not giving you real facts and data. Because it doesn’t have to. It dose’nt have that contract.
It basically just serves to protect the fossil fuel industry here which is about 80% owned by foreign investors. And they don’t want to see a downturn in their investments.
Social conservatives are somewhat compromised and easily manipulated, because they hold biases that can be tapped into and exploited.

And it’s a free country and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Because if you challenge that then you don’t have free speech. If you don’t have freedom of the press in a country you tend to live in a world of s**t. Like Russia or China

But the real bonus is , we all get to choose our own truths. If you believe something then it is real to you. Can’t choose your own destiny if you can’t choose your own reality.

So if a gay person wants to be gay as f***. Then good luck to them. Because that also means I too can think whatever the f*** I want. And no governance gets to decide what I think.
If I contest their liberty, then i will pay a price on my own.

And if you haven’t guessed yet, I’m a libertarian. I do tend to get antsy around conservatives but it’s nothing personal.
I grew up here in the 80’s . I like freedom. I remember it. I want it back for my children or at least the grandkids.
Can’t advocate for that from a conservative platform. Conflict of interests.

That absolutely proves it to me. You are the enemy of everything country and its people. It's people like you who are the real reason this country is spiralling downwards.
The nicknames are spot on. Eating out and festering from the inside.

And on Sky News itself, it actually runs 24/7 on the corridors in Parliament house Canberra. Maybe they should take your advice because the ABC is so neutral, eh?
Your brain needs to engage that the news content is separate from the openly declared "opinion" presenters that the bed wetting grubs call "Sky after dark" because it exposes them.

And it's just like you to denigrate free speech, from electronic media or even forums, because it doesn't generate in the loungeroom of a serial poster who never steps outside. Like you.

Just spotted this. Appears there are too many deer in the parks. Mmmm, I wonder why?

i like sky, but i try to get a broad source of information , and try to find the truth somewhere in the middle . show i like to watch on abc, landline . most city bound potato heads have no idea about regional issues west of the range, or some of the truly innovative projects and things that are happening. i find landline a great show
