Earlier this year, red fire ants were detected in the precious environments of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) for the very first time. These highly invasive and dangerous ants were first found in Australia in 2001. A large outbreak in southeast Queensland remains active and is still subject to a major eradication effort. But if we fail to get on top of red fire ants, modelling shows they...

    This invasive species council is a group that has created jobs for themselves and they recieve funding from tax payers money. They are concerned with funding. What about the 600 new species that are found every year. Why have you not mentioned these new species that are being discovered every year? You are dealing with people who live in Koziosko. The journalist is not telling the truth. The natural springs filter all the water. The water has never been full of poo and mushed. This is untrue. The natural springs underground and also the bogs run deep with sphagnum and it is impossible to have undeniable water. The Koziosko National Park is not a delicate place. It is rugged harsh country. With many new species being discovered every year right where the Brumbies are or were living. My stepfather owned a huge property in the Snowy, he was a grazier and the family were therfor generations. Some of the species of pl as nets and grasses you are saying are endangered is incorrect because my step father planted some of those plant and he planted miles of grasses. Some of the species are in fact, not native to the Kozi Region especially the grasses. My step father started planting when he was a little boy he and continued nearly every day planting grass and plants till he was in his 20's when he went away. This was in the 1930'still the 1950's. Many areas have vegetation because of his work and the Brumbies were never a problem. What has happened now is the residents who live in the Snowy for years, some for generations, and this shooting Brumbies from the air has upset the people who live there. There are now thousands of dead Brumbies in the KNP and they are left to decompose where they were shot. These carcases are attracting wild dogs which put locals at risk but what is more concerning is this. When the concern about the rotting horses attracting wild dogs was voiced to the govt they said they have placed 4 time as much poison as they usually do to kill any wild dogs. Now this poison is lethal to all plants and animals and humans. It is also a very cruel painful slow death. Every animal in the areas where the poison has been laid will kill everything and will seep into the waterways in the run off and this has become a major worry for local people. The poison used is banned worldwide due to the devastating impact on the environment and peoples lives. We are having an environmental disaster. The poison is lethal! The decaying carcases of the thousands of Brumbies is poisoning the water and ßome Brumbies are decomposing in the waterways. Decaying secretions from dying or dead rotting horses are running into the pristine creeks. So locals have had a double botch up job done on their lives with the deadly poison and the decaying flesh of the thousands of dead brumbies that have been left to rot. Not to mention how upset many locals are about the Brumbies they have known for years. They consider some mobs of Brumbies friends and love seeing them. What the journalist and 5he professor said about the water is impossible to happen the water is filtered naturally and is much bigger that a m9b for two of Brumbies. It has done well before you came along and started the not for profit called the Invasive Species Council. I remember you people trying all sorts of tall tails saying the Brumbies had turned into carnavours and were eating each other. Horses do not trample an area especially a bog . They do not stomp over and over on the one patch of ground and they do not like getting their feet wet. Many will take a long jump to avoid water. I know because I have owned horses all my life and I was a champion jumping and eventing rider with a mare I owned. My mate had a foal and her foal grew into an adult and she had a foal. I know when horses breed and how often. The numbers of Brumbies you say there are are far too high. The numbers are in fact impossible for wild horses to reach in the times you stated and when breeding these equines do not suddenly explode in numbers. No matter the tall tales you say, you need to be within the realms of reality. I did the calculations and even if all the Brumbies were mares such a number is impossible to reach. You have proven yourselves unqualified to pass judgement on the matters regarding the Snowy, regarding the species at risk, you do not talk about the new species being discovered, some species you have listed as being endangered are not even native to the region, you make statements with no evidence. Horse manure keeps parasites away, poison has been quadrupled. All animals, birds and humans who live in the area are at risk of poisoning. The dead and dying Brumbies are contaminating the water in the streams and on private properties. We are now at crises levels with dead poisoned native species. The whole region is an environmental disaster. The suffering has been a true sin. I am not a Brumbies activist but many people are joining nationwide. You slander the Brumby activists as being unbalanced. Clearly you have created this invasive species council and recieve funding from the Australian tax payers. You have practiced unethically and demanded inhumane methods to solve the problem you say the Brumbies are causing and you show no evidence because there is no evidence. You created this invasive council and have created well paid jobs for yourselves and to keep the funding you have to prove you are effective so you exaggerate the numbers and exaggerate the work you say you do to prove more funding is necessary. You create problems that are not real to achieve this. What you have caused is an environmental crises. The future development plans for the snowy includes over 6,000 beds in existing resorts, housing development, helicopter shuttling in vacationers, changing the KNP to be open all year round, new hotels and motels. New roads and helicopter pads. The future plans will see much degradation of the environment. But worst of all is you called for the killing of our wild Brumbies in the most cruellest way. This planet is for all to live on. Your thinking that what is not native must be killed is wrong. You have made many Australians I'll with grief. I suspect you are not more than 1st generation Australians. You have disrespected the diggers who went to the board, 1st WW and the 2nd world wars. You have disrespected the Anzacs, you have disrespected school children and caused grief for them and horse lovers worldwide. The bloodlines of the Brumbies had some quality bloodlines many are I mean were thoroughbreds. Thousands of horses are born in the racing industry. Thousands each year become unwanted because they are not wanted for being too slow. We have accounted for some that go to knakkeries, abattoirs and some are rehomed but thousands are unaccounted for. Why don't you stick your nose in on the over breeding of racehorses which over 10,000 horses are born each year and most do not go on to race. They go somewhere. You people are not experts not qualified and do not know the answers. Killing off animals has never worked long term. Initially yes but there are many factors you have not covered in this whole debacle. You have put a wedge in the midst of the people and created lost trust. I believe you people are completely fanatical about creating a reason to continue to exist. Do you even know what native is. How is killing sentient beings who want to live killing foals and mares who die after spontaneously aborting because of the terror and panic or causing injuries to warm blooded equines that do not harm and have never been a problem until you people came along living off the Australian taxpayers dollars. You create the problems so your invasive council can get funding to even exist. What you have done will go down in history just you watch. Perhaps you might even pat yourselves on the back. But with out funding you cease to exist. You are a self-made unqualified not for profit. How easy it has been for you to remove our heritage. Our heritage is just as important to us. You have disrespected the people's of Australia who have been here for generations. Many were forced here against their will many like my family came he were of their own. Horses come with people that is not a mistake, they are necessary to a developing land. You have disrespected our horses and our heritage you have wiped out our heritage as if we too are not to matter because perhaps you think we too are not native to the land we were born on like the brumby. There is no such thing as native. Native is a man-made thing. The Australian lans was not cared for for thousands of years it is mostly desert and a barran waste. If you are so worried about native plants, birds and animals many of our endangered species are tiny protected endangered Australian nice and rats species that do not harn they are native to Australia and they are endangered and protected. Protected means not to harm them doing so can mean a large fine or even a jail term in prison, yet you allow rat poison to be sold over the counter at the local shops or supermarkets and by these local shop doing so are actually in breach of the law. The poisons say rat poison on the box and yet our native rats that do not harm and are protected are rats! Why are you not protecting these little native animals. Some breeds are like tiny kangaroos. Why are you not protecting kangaroos? Possums and other native bush babies they are extinct in some areas because of land clearing. Why are you not stopping the invasive land development?

    Brilliant discussion! Thankyou all involved. Watching this ongoing controversy from NT. Would be fantastic if Jack Thompson went public and told Australians Banjo’s poem is a narrow white washed version of our shared history. Highly likely the ‘man’ from Snowy River was Aboriginal. Aboriginal people played a massive role on the pastoral frontier. The poem makes no mention of this. Come on Australia let’s connect and care for country. ‘Country’ not in a white nationalist sense but an inclusive way of moving together for all Australians at the health of the land and waters. To drink clean water at the start of the Murray / Indi River should be a sacred thing not something that makes you gag from our neglect.

    • @inTheSnowgums
      @inTheSnowgums 5 месяцев назад

      Do you want me to explain? Well ok horses and pigs have feet which have hoves and usually most native animals dont have hoves they have soft feet which often dont damage the ground while horses and pigs compress the ground especially at Kosciuszko np there is a lot of lakes, rivers and creeks which often create damp spots which are incredibly fragile and compressing the ground kills the plants there along with rare types of mosses which if damaged dont grow back and i should also mention herb fields which like the same moist sites i mentioned previously they are very fragile and also generally horses and pigs dig up and level out natural growth which creates environmental destruction and before you say "we need animals to level out the low lying shrubs and plants" well thats not how that environment works in the alpine sub-alpine montane environments fires dont come very often so there generally isnt a huge need like further lower where the fire risk is greater Good look reading this in one go also do your research first

      Yellow crazy ants are devastating the red crabs and other life in Christmas Island. Literally! They colonize together unlike other ants, so they do not fight against themselves. Millions of crabs have been reduced by over half because of these ants. They will decimate ground dwelling animals, and live inside trees that hold several colonies side by side. Baby birds even are on their radar. Educate yourself. This is not a ordinary ant what so ever.
