G'day all

Martin O'Brien just posted some info re release of 'game' birds on Tasmanian and
Victorian farms for hunters.

I'm amazed that any state or federal government agency would condone, and even
encourage, the release of foreign organisms in this day and age.  Does Birds
Australia have a policy on this?  It's like playing russian roulette with the
environment.

 Cheers

Steve
