Thread: Green Party and 1080

1) Marty Foote has done the TB eradication work he has claimed and is correct about the cost of aerial 1080.

2) AHB has always employed, and is still employing, trapping contractors that have done, and are doing, a better job than aerial 1080.

3) DOC does have a 20 year multi-species trapping trial that is doing a better job than aerial 1080.

4) DOC has no idea if aerial 1080 is killing canopy dwelling rats and stoats as DOC isn't doing any monitoring in the canopy. Ignorance is bliss as far as the 1080 industry goes.

In short. There has always been a cost effective alternative solution to aerial 1080, that both AHB and DOC have covered up in order to support their government employee mates in the 1080 industry who, in turn, provide evidence to justify the AHB and DOC management jobs.

Come on 1080 supporters. Do the right thing. Either, put up refuting arguments, or openly accept that the 1080 industry has been caught out, and is desperately trying to wipe it's collective nether regions at the same time as pulling their pants up.

Cheers....Marty

Im too busy rolling in 1080 cash from my "industry pay-masters" to come up with with facts.
We have been able to sway successive blue and red political parties, leadership changes and the GFC yet we still manipulate the government to pump our poison across the land.

Or I could just spout a heap of unsubstantiated rhetoric like you.

Or maybe you could pull your head outta your arse.

Take a hike Marty Foote
