Cattlemen's Association argues for a change to current baiting methods, saying that the requirement to call in departmental staff to lay baits sometimes means too many are used.

Given the indiscriminate impact of baiting, and the difficulty in visually telling dingoes and many hybrids apart, Steve Eldridge says the highly potent 1080 poison is used cautiously.

...their nationality; they are unapologetically Welsh. (They have recorded a full LP in the Welsh language, their first names are Huw, Dafydd, Cian, Guto, and Gruff, etc.) Yet one would never have known based on the performance Monday. They simply played their hits and kept the talking to a minimum. When they did decide to talk, it was mostly political grandstanding. It seems that as their music has gotten simpler over the years, so has their political rhetoric (for those of you who didn’t know, Bush is bad).While Caribou took what could have been a very...
