best start would be the relevant licensing authority in your state

To be honest I'm yet to hear one of these stories end well....
I thought the DEHP was only concerned about locking people out of national parks?
I'm pretty sure that comment was meant tongue-in-cheek? lol
DEHP handle all Wildlife licensing - it used to come under the DERM banner.

mate I would call as many people as you can, clearly it's hard to get a response from government departments so try as many as you can, soon you will be annoying enough to listen to. Sadly it's the only way to get things done these days.

forget rspca they only care about all things cute and cuddly , just get in contact with your local parks and wildlife authorities and let them know whats going on , than continue to pester them daily and you just might get some results good luck

Just to clarify....in NSW the Shooters Party have done a deal with the Liberal Governement to allow hunting in National Parks. Why , you say.... So the Libs can sell off power stations to private enterprise. Win win eh.

What does possible dead snakes mean? Either the are or they are not.If they can't tell the difference between alive or dead then perhaps they have no idea what they are looking at anyway.
they're poss het for dead

Isn't dead a dominant trait so you couldn't have possibles. Also het dead to het dead couldn't breed.

as far as I know that hasn't gone through yet, as were still somewhat under a labour government... with enough people fighting it it won't either. National Parks should be for enjoyment for everyone.... except the hardcore MTB boys...
Realistically all that will do is make it easier for anyone to get a reason to shoot in NSW. :facepalm: sometimes I wonder when we will do a u-turn on the metric system....

Hello. Greenwillow here (Wokka's daughter and ex-moderator from years ago).
Wokka is correct. The state Liberal government, under Barry O'Farrell has indeed done a deal with the Shooters and Fisher's Party to allow hunting in National Parks. This was in return for the Shooters voting for legislation to enable the sell off of state electricity assets. This passed around the middle of this year.
As yet the new laws haven't been enacted (as in, the laws are in place, but the "start" button hasn't been pressed yet) however this hasn't stopped hunters from shooting in National Parks already. And not just feral animals, as the law allows, but natives including kangaroos, wallabys, wombats and anything else with a pulse that steps infront of their crosshairs, maybe even the odd herper or two.
I was going to tell you all about the new duck hunting laws which have also been passed in NSW, again thanks to O'Farrell doing a deal with the Shooters party, this time to secure the leasing out of a couple of ports, but I remember the rules of APS and don't want to take this thread too off-topic.
Cheers, Greenwillow.
