Steve,
I suggest that you look at Tasmanian Parks and
Wildlife's web page on foxes at
The map on this page shows that foxes are now
spread across northern Tasmania, and frankly I think that it will take a miracle
to stop them at this stage.
The Tasmanian authorities have set up a Fox
Taskforce and are making a determined attempt to control the foxes.
The Commonwealth Government's contribution of $440
000 speaks volumes about their commitment to the environment on a timescale
beyond the election cycle.

There was an excellent show on the ABC last night, one
of Richard Morecroft's specials, about the foxes in Tasmania. It was good to
see this issue being given some further public airing. Hopefully it is being
taken seriously by people who can effectively deal with the problem. What has
happened in terms of eradicating this problem in Tasmania?
