Centre Alliance supports responsible gun ownership and Australia’s current gun laws. The party does not believe these laws should be changed, however we also believe feral pest eradication plays a role in environmental management. To use a South Australian example, the total eradication of feral goats and deer on Kangaroo Island was the culmination of years of work by feral animal officers working with the feral animal project team at Natural Resources Kangaroo Island.
It is encouraging to hear the environment on the island is already recovering as a result, and this a great example of how properly-managed feral and pest management programs can protect and conserve our native flora and fauna.
