The Queensland government has changed the penalty of feeding dingoes to be greater than $10,000 as a result of a toddler being dragged from a camper trailer on Fraser Island recently.
The maximum fine has been doubled and now stands at $10,444 while the minimum fine is $2088 which is five times more than what it was originally.
Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch says by the government increasing fines it will really reinforce to people who deliberately disturb or feed dingoes how dangerous the practice is.
