 Hi all, 
  
Just a quick note for those interested in the fox
debarcle. Since this remains perhaps the worst ecological distaster to face
Tasmania since the arrival of European settlers, I guess it is worth keep
dipping into the subject. 
  
I can't remember what was last said but I was
watching a documentary the other day which stated that the sum total of funding
received (after about 6 months haggling) from the federal government to tackle
foxes, was $400,000.  
  
The sum speaks for itself. Presumably the only
invaders from the north that the government is prepared to combat are those that
arrive on boats from Indonesia. 
  
Regards, 
  
Simon.
