Ducks and Quails saved

DUCK and quail hunting have been banned in Queensland in a move welcomed by animal welfare groups.

Environment Minister Desley Boyle today announced a permanent ban, saying she was contacted 700 times in the past year on duck hunting and only 15 of those were in favour of the practice.

There’s the formulae guys, it doesn’t take long to organize 700 letters/emails on any subject and you too can enjoy the power of governing by protest. Ministers falling on their swords all over Queensland so let’s introduce a measure to pick up a few animal rights votes and take everyones attention off the resignations. Government by protest…way to go.
