Heavier Fines for Rabbit Offences Agenda at Sydney Conference
At the PP Boards conference in Sydney grave concern was voiced over the rabbit outbreak. Mr A Beadford Coonamble moved to impose minimum fines of 10 pounds for a first offence, 10 pounds for a second, and 20 pounds for a third upon conviction for failing to destroy rabbits. The group urged ending the export levy on rabbit kina, sought 3d aid from the Federal Government for rabbit destruction, and pressed for more wire-netting and fumigants to avert a food shortage. Director C L Glasson warned that in five years Britain’s needs would shift to Australia unless action occurred. Directors said effective control hinges on more netting and government support.
