More of the problem posed by feral pigs, but there appears to be no solution in sight.
Apparently the local Aboriginal people are not hunting pigs and the rest of us are discouraged from hunting.
Perhaps the people who are spending so big on steam submarines can find a few extra billion dollars for a pig eradication program and do some good for the country right now instead of an airy fairy ‘’maybe something’’ years down the track.

Aborigines have never hunted pigs. They were introduced by white man.

Aborigines?  You're right - they were introduced - didn't know they were Aborigines until the Wharte Man told them...

Not my fault you don't understand the Wharte Man's impositions on the poor struggling Abos... they were doing fine without Macca's until Whartey came along and wrecked the whole thing - had no concept of any national group called Aborigines - they were just whatever their little wandering group was named as they occupied whatever tiny patch they camped on for the night........ then along came Whartey with his Captain Cook ships and stuff - and off the cargo cult went full steam.. or sail anyway..

So Aborigines are an introduced species - anyway - they weren't even the First Colonisers.... stole the lend they did!

that you're a victim?

I know, it's the fault of blacks, muslims, migrants, women and every other minority group that you don't like.

Now to continue our theme of the Introduced Species reality of the 'Aboriginal' - every group of such has mingled with visitors of every kind - Lascars, Chinese, Afghan etc Muslims, Pacific Islanders and so forth - so there is absolutely zero possibility of any group claiming to be the First Colonisers..... they are all a bastard race of mixed ancestry, and thus any claims to preference of ownership of the lend etc are extinct.... and indeed were extinct long before the Captain Cook ships sailed in and Civilised the place and brought Macca's with them along with all the other parts of The Cargo Cult that they all live on nowadays.

Of course - at some time - sense has to prevail and they must either become full and functioning Australian citizens or they must go and colonise somewhere else, as they have done historically.

As for 'hunting' - no need to hunt Macca's and the butcher shop etc... unless you are hunter-gathering by shop-lifting or similar - and as Crocodile Dundee would say - "Yer can hunt the traditional way but it's work like sh

t - lot easier to do it the Wharte Man's way... and it's best ter run across the backs of them politician an' other fools ter get what ya want instead o' workin' for it... but I guess that well's dryin' up now  - things just aren't what they useta be... but everything's got ta change... ..."

Ask yourself why that is.

Yet there are still plenty who are doing just that.

FB & Youtube are full of video footage from loads of feral animal hunters .....they tackle pigs, cats, foxes, dogs, camels, water buffalo, donkeys, pigeons, rats.

Getting a firearm license is quite easy, all that one has to do is apply and meet the criteria required to be considered a fit and proper person.
But that aside, the spear is sufficient for killing pigs and has been used worldwide for killing dangerous game.

My Aboriginal mates and relatives hunt, and thus walk around the bush, armed with rifles or shotguns, so far the only thing the police have done is ask if they have a license, and that has happened only once.

Dumbarse - you were the one who was crapping on about animals introduced by white man.

So the difference between a pig & a cat in the context it was used for you(dumbarse) is irrelevant.

Much like everything you post.

Secure storage is no problem only needs the receptacle to be fixed correctly to the frame of the house, ditto for ammo and Government supplied houses meet security requirements and the supply of ammunition is assured by having a licence and some cash.

John Smith wrote on Dec 1^st, 2025 at 12:46pm:


You obviously wouldn't know.

Did it for years.

Shot feral cats too, & foxes, horses & wild cattle & roos on crop land.

but you - you've never been out of your urban comfort zone.

Gnads wrote on Dec 1^st, 2025 at 7:22pm:


I know hunting pigs is very different to hunting cats

I swear, even in the most backward dives of the deepest, darkest internet you wouldn't find a bunch of arseholes trying to blame our First Nations people for not properly controlling feral pests.

It takes Ozpol.

The old guys are special here.

I nay event, you're wrong. This thread is attempting to place blame and shame on First Nations people. Grist for the mill on here.

What's your point, Scrappy Do?

You're such a dumb diva. No one has done any such thing.

Statements were made by your mentally impaired leftoid mate Guido that Aboriginals didn't hunt feral pigs ..... which they do ... so to further that I refuted his assertion & added an another example of certain groups of Aboriginals who also hunt & eat feral cats.

Thus showing that Aboriginal people are doing their bit in reducing feral animal populations & saving native wildlife.

It's a fact though your mixed race/white urban activist Aboriginals don't do a thing in that regard.

But you come in with your knickers in a bunch putting up the usual racecard/victim bullshyte.

mothra wrote on Dec 2^nd, 2025 at 6:14am:


Why would they hunt feral pests when they're the only people allowed to hunt native species?

They're allowed to put Platypus and Koalas on the BBQ.

Duck hunting seasons only apply to white man which appears to be a racist law.

Useless bastards should be controlling feral pests as part of their fabled lend menegement.... have to get some value out of 'em some way...

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.
