We have some of the best scientists in the world. If we truly want to get rid of possums then target species specific chemical sterilisation of the males (or females) is the answer. Find the magic formula, spread it widely via baits (we already know how to do this bit) and voila seven years later (the life span of possums) there are none left to be found anywhere. Surely this is an idea worth putting research money toward.
