Bob Katter and the KAP party are claiming that Queeslanders have “fed a load of croc” by the Palaszczuk Labor Government as it continually refuses to reveal the findings of a detailed crocodile population survey that concluded in 2019.
The report was stated at the time as “the most comprehensive crocodile population survey ever in Queensland”, with data promised to be compared to figures going back as far as 1979 and despite it being produced three years ago it is yet to be published to the public. KAP Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto said the State Government was likely stalling on releasing the report as it would reveal uncomfortable truths.
The KAP Safer Waterway Bill, which has failed to receive support from both major parties in the past, was designed to address the crocodile issues in the North. With Mr Katter saying “I find it mind-boggling that not wanting your pets, friends and family members eaten by crocs is considered radical these days.”.
