Macquarie Island Cull- Waste of taxpayers $$

“At Senate Estimates today its been revealed that of 305 tonnes of rabbit bait, purchased by Labor at for more than a million dollars and dumped on Macquarie Island, 210 tonnes has been spoilt.”


“As a result, another three quarters of million dollars of taxpayers’ money has been wasted.”


“Tragically it’s also been revealed that rabbit baiting on the Macquarie Island has also led to the deaths of more than 900 seabirds. The actual figure is expected to be much higher.”
