“As a new trend emerges, concerns about the increasing nexus between South Australia and Victoria, a state where there are seemingly no barriers between the mass killing of native species and the lawless and cruel conduct that accompanies it, needs careful investigation”.

Amendment carried; motion as amended carried
Of all the States in Australia, given what has occurred to its Kangaroo populations, South Australia needs to look very closely at the conduct, claims about sustainability, humaneness, population estimates and government expenditures in supporting the mass killing of Australian wildlife, in this case Kangaroos, the health and wellbeing of these animals, the South Australian environment and the people in South Australia who care about these things.
“The love-hate relationship that Australians have with what is one of our national icons is something that is often a vexed debate. I think tonight it has been a reasonably respectful debate, and I am sure that the Natural Resources Committee will also be a very respectful and diverse forum, with the expertise of not just the witnesses and submissions we will take but, of course, the research team on that committee that will hopefully inform better practice in the future. With that, I commend the motion”. The Hon. Tammy Franks
A close look at the ‘best science’ might reveal that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. Here is the usual South Australian Public Service’s statements on the matter. The reality is something rather different and if any state in Australia needed a Kangaroo Inquiry, South Australia is it. Happily that is now what will occur.
“The SA Commercial Kangaroo Management Plan (the Management Plan) details how the department will ensure that the harvest remains sustainable. To ensure that the best science is used, the Management Plan is reviewed every five years. Kangaroo management can be a challenging issue in the community. Kangaroo management, both commercial and non-commercial, is regulated via permits issued under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. The commercial kangaroo harvest has been run in South Australia for over 40 years and has been shown to be sustainable. Population estimates are developed from annual surveys and are used to set sustainable harvest quotas each year”.
The South Australian Commercial Kangaroo Management Plan 2025-2029 should not be approved, and certainly not approved, before an inquiry occurs, so that the circumstances for Kangaroos in South Australia are clear and transparent to those responsible for signing off this document.
Protected Australian species should be just that, protected.
