If only there was the funds allocated for this.
Talking to an officer in the NSW Pasture Protection Board he said they were
so restricted in funds that early intervention to remove goats from the NP
near Mittagong, NSW, 80 KM SW of Sydney, after the council had them
introduced to remove blackberry, resulted in them expanding to
uncontrollable numbers through Nattai NP. He had a job for life.

The Greens MP Ian Cohen said the bill would give concessions to hunters
under the guise of feral animal control. "I recognise that feral animals
are a problem in NSW national parks, but if they are to be culled then
it should be managed by trained Livestock Health and Protection
Authority officers," he said.
"Recreational hunters are not helping when it comes to feral species -
the reality is that hunters, with their dogs, are often a cause of pest
species dispersal, driving feral animals into national parks."
