Not suprised, the wool indusrty is only a shadow of it once was. Around Ballarat, where merino sheep reigned supreme, they are a rareity now. Mostly cropping, prime lambs and some cattle. Cropping was a hit and miss thing 30/40 years ago, but with climate change(the winters are dryer and warmer) and modern farming practices(direct drilling, herbicides, big powerful machinery) the ballarat area is now prime cropping country, reflected in the price of land, now about $7000/acre!

At the rate they keep converting State Forest to National Park (No hunting) my guess it is about to start shrinking. And pigs, foxes, goats, dogs etc numbers will be increasing, Thanks to greenies who have NFI.

And don't forget "Nature Conservation Reserves" - National Parks by stealth.
NPs require specific legislation but NCRs can be done administratively but the use limitations are almost identical to NPs, even worse in regard to camping.

So does prostitution, so should we feel good about it?
Why not? What's wrong with prostitution, it fills a need for both parties.
Are you a vegan or vegetarian Dorian?

The oldest profession in the world. So it must be financially viable for many.

Agreed,particularly the last few words in your post.The naivety of the Greenies is beyond comprehension.Unfortunately,while the silent majority continues to remain silent,these 'splinter groups' will take over by stealth? Cheers
