Anyone know what the point of this is?

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/canberra-roo-fertility-trial-costs-612000-treats-135-kangaroos-20170123-gtwzj3.html

Two-and-a-half years into the kangaroo fertility trial, the ACT government has spent about $600,000 to deliver a contraceptive to 135 kangaroos, and a placebo to 10 more.

The next joey sits in a kind of holding pattern until the previous joey is out, and conditions such as food and water supply are sufficient .... they're probably looking at ways to stop or slow this so as to control numbers.

Good point, I guess the fact that kangaroos don't have access to the Canberra Times.

Seriously, this could be done by a shooter for a few thousand bucks.
What a waste of money to keep Greenies happy.
