You aren't allowed to hunt in national parks. Even for introduced pest species like deer and pigs. Hunters complain about this all the time. There is potential here for a massive win-win deal, but it gets swallowed in red tape and the whining of the animal libbers. National parks also tend to be a haven for pest plant species like lantana, which causes all sorts of problems for neighbouring farmers.
What little the government does do, costs an absolute fortune, because they invent whole new government departments to "manage" it and hire people with PhD's in microbiology to do the work, when they could just let people do it for free.
Back in the 1980s early 1990s if you haven't been pig shooting you knew people who did it.
Today these people would be demonised by woke leftists.
We can hunt in state forests in NSW must book in have GPS so no excuse for not being where you should be and must wear orange jacket.
State forests OK for some reason National Parks aren't.
Anything the government does costs more than it should take the BOM website for $96 million and the machete bins in Victoria for $13 million.
Governments are spending millions on aerial culling each year they spend more.
Government aerial culling aren't allowed to fly that low must be a coupe of hundred feet must use expensive turbine powered chopper and have a spotter counting shots fired.
With government culling animals must be double tapped which doubles the cost for ammo.
This video shows private contractor on private property doing aerial culling with Robinson R22 a pilot and shooter for less than half of what it costs for government doing same thing.
