Did anyone hear Minister Cheryl Garbutt this morning
on radio talking about "netting & gassing" Corellas in country VIc
somewhere (didn't catch the name of the town).

It seems the locals are a smite tired of the 'swarming' cockies
and have a request to begin blasting them out of the sky.

According to Ms Garbutt, netting & gassing "some" of the Corellas
thins down their numbers significantly so as to prevent
huge flocks from forming.

I'm interested to hear other commentary on this and any
effect on Corella populations in Victoria,

This DNRE newsletter from October 2001 discusses a corella control program in the Wimmera in western Victoria.
