Prime cattle with shiny coats stretched over heavy bulk, attended by their drovers and horses. The other very noticeable thing, which I think benefits all Victorians, is the obvious reduction in grass undercover height – huge reduction.

If the Greens can’t embrace this fact then they are definitely out of their minds.

The only other argument they have is hoof damage around springs, and now that they have squeezed deer hunting, the increase in deer numbers is going to create similar if not constant issues as cattle grazing is seasonal.

Look at the Alpine forests and there are miles of ugly dead trunks from previous super-heated fires from copious fuel supplies.

Mind you, we are going to witness these super-heated fires in our local red gum forests both sides of the border through this same hallow thought that Green’s ‘lock-out to preserve’ policy embraces.

Low and be behold, this mutual act has been shut down by ill-informed politicking, at the federal level.

If Labor Governments directed by hallucinating Greens want to score points, why don’t they follow up on their promise to stop the whaling?

Why did they let the iconic Murray cod get annihilated between Barmah and Mildura by the black water event that bureaucrats brushed off and why is the Federal Government and the Greens not embracing the threat that cane toads pose to the once pristine Top End?

Then there is little common sense it seems when it comes to politics and true conservation.
