Julian et al,

The butcherbird/NM interaction begs further study (anecdotally there have been reports of NMs feeding young GBs!!).

There are provisions for NM control under Vic and NSW state legistlation. It is of course entirely voluntary (it is still a native species, after all, and arguably habitat fragmentation could be the root cause of this issue), and in Vic at least the onus is on the landowner to instigate control where warranted. Many rural properties are actively controlling NMs and NM control will most likely be used as an adjunct to future Regent Honeyeater conservation measures.
