the figures dont lie but liars can figure exclude the age extremes and factor in the male female and 750 is quite a decent % when you consider that elections that decide government are usually settled with a smaller % than this. Governments will not spend the money to fly helishooters , instead they are all reducing allocations towards nation parks let alone the rest of the country for animal /pest control

Many years ago I rang foul of Parks when I camped on the rifle rang at Port Campbell in the belief it couldnt be part of the park as no guns allowed !!!! not so it was park
