    Cattle back in the VicHigh Country

    Lateline report tonight - Cattle have been reintroduced to the Victorian high country on a six year trial basis.
    What a great move.

    This is a stupid decision that is more likely to increase the risk of fire than reduce it. The economic returns are far out weighed by the land management costs. Several species on the brink of extinction are likely to be seriously impacted. The damage from earlier grazing is still evident. This is ignorant vandalism, plain and simple. What a great move indeed!

    ABC Radio National's Bush Telegraph programme did a segment on this on February 10 and the podcast is available here:

    It strikes me that the argument the Vic Govt is using is similar to that used by the Japanese to justify whaling.
