Katter’s party bid to cull crocodiles in Queensland rubbished by experts

Bill before parliament would allow culling by landowners, harvesting of crocodile eggs and hunting safaris

Scientists have rubbished the logic behind a new push to cull crocodiles in north Queensland, saying the only way to completely stop attacks would be to eradicate the species.

Katter's Australian party MPs on Wednesday lodged a private member's bill in the Queensland parliament to allow culling by landowners, the harvesting of crocodile eggs and hunting safaris led by Indigenous rangers.
