Dear All,
 I thought that I was being paranoid, thinking that there will be a  
return to duck hunting in NSW. It seems that BirdLife Austtralia  
thinks so as well, This is from their latest e-news :
Reintroduction of duck and quail hunting in NSW
 The NSW Government has just passed legislation that will allow  
recreational hunting of feral animals in the state’s national parks  
and reserves. Don’t be fooled. The decision has nothing to do with  
good conservation management — it’s the thin end of the wedge in the  
Shooters and Fishers Party’s desire to increase their supporters’  
rights to shoot whatever they like, wherever they like.
 Next on their agenda is the reintroduction of duck and quail hunting  
in NSW. While the Shooters and Fishers Party is speaking of this as  
though it’s a done deal, Premier Barry O’Farrell has not made a public  
announcement of support.
 NOW is the time to write to Premier O’Farrell and State MPs to let  
them know that you oppose any reintroduction of duck and quail hunting  
and that you deplore the decision to allow recreational hunting in  
conservation reserves.
