Surely this is an idea worth putting research money toward.

Aaaaahhh Senor Nek. It would be easier to just to build a wall around him. In fact just wait til he goes to the dunny and then brick up the door.

"OH" what would all the people do that fill their pockets spreading the green stuff if it wasn't needed.

My bad thought they were one and the same, keep dropping the crap then, one day DOC will get theirs heads out of "someone's" arse

My concerns with the development of an effective sterilization program for possums is who's to say that later on down the track the powers to be decide to modify the process to effect deer and other introduced species. We all know that MOST ( not all) DOC staff are brain washed into believing that introduced species must be removed from the environment.

Yep

Besides possums , just ask "Who's Next".

Because the Gravey Train will keep on rolling.

The main thing to remember is if the possums get erection problems, DON`T eat them!!!.

I'd eat a handful if it would save me from getting the snip

There's always been an alternative. It's called trapping.
