Bloody typical, Minister calls it scaremongering while they're probably just trying to protect native birds. Seen too many deer stripping the bush.
yeah exactly, seen what deer do to the undergrowth. It's a mess
lol 'special interest' wapiti. More like special interest for rich hunters who want to shoot big antlers. Spin it however you like.
I get that but hunters contribute to conservation too. It's not black and white
Anyone got actual details on this bill? Heard it's about protecting game animals but feels like a giveaway to hunting clubs
ffs do your own research instead of asking reddit comments

Forest and Bird have done good work, but sometimes they get carried away. Let's see what the actual proposal says eh
copium mate. Hunters just want trophies
ffs another political stunt. Our forests are stuffed and they're arguing about deer. Classic
too right. Both sides have agendas, but Forest and Bird usually side with the bush
We need a balanced approach. Not every introduced species is bad, but we can't ignore the damage they do. More nuance please
lol well that escalated quickly. Bring on the deer vs bird wars
Honestly can't trust either side at this point. It's all about who pays for their next campaign
typical politician gaslighting. Forest and Bird are right to call it out, these animals wreck native bush
Scomo's mob probably owns shares in deer farming. Follow the money
😂 yeah nah get stuffed
spending lunch break reading this garbage. Someone save our birds please 🙄
