Not much of a deterrent. Just another minor cost to land clearers and
developers.

A few years ago Mark Holdsworth valued Orange-bellied Parrots at 
$35,000 apiece. Ignore CPI, and give the Regents a (conservative) 
price tag of 20 grand each - 40 of them adds up to $800,000. These 
blokes were fined a total of $1500, which works out at $37.50 a bird.

What a bargain!
