Coles are doing an okay job of selling Kangaroo, by having a "game" section in their supermarkets. The Macro Meats' Kangaroo Meatballs are very good, along with the wild Camel Burgers and legs of Goat.

There are so many misconceptions about our national symbols. Nobody knows just how many kangaroos there are in Australia, and some are already extinct - or threatened. As comparing them to cattle, the grazing pressure of kangaroos is minimal compared to livestock! In fact, kangaroos contribute to dispersion of seeds, soil fertilization, consume little, and their feet are gentle on the land, unlike cattle.
The danger from kangaroos is because of the massive number of vehicles in Australia, crossing their habitat, without consideration for wildlife. Australia has the highest rate of mammal extinctions in the world, and the resentment and hatred of kangaroos is an evil, Colonial mentality that should have been eradicated by the 21st century!

Kangaroos do not live on fresh air. Informed experts put a kangaroos on a par with two sheep in terms of the quantum they eat.

Our rate of mammal extinction in this country largely reflects the effects of species introduced a century or more ago, that have gone feral (domestic cats, rabbits, foxes etc). It has little to do with current human activity.

Remember the advice of John Howard. "Relaxed but alert" Phone ASIO.

Federal Police instructions:
"We’ve explained how to respond to attacks by mountain goats and wolves, but how do you defend yourself against a kangaroo?

Walk away sideways. The best defense is to keep a safe distance and try to create a barrier between yourself and the beast. Even holding up a large tree branch can be helpful. If the kangaroo approaches, turn your body sideways, exposing a narrow profile to the animal and protecting your face and organs. Raise your hands and lean your head away from the animal to minimize the chances of being scratched across the face by the kangaroo’s nasty claws. Retreat, but do not turn your back and run. A kangaroo can easily chase you down, kicking as it hops.

Act submissive: Crouch down, avoid eye contact, and back away. Swallow your pride and let out a short, low cough or grunt—that’s how kangaroos admit inferiority to a more powerful male. Females are smaller and somewhat less formidable than males, but attacks by female kangaroos have also caused grievous human injury.
If the animal insists on a fight, your best move is to curl up into a ball and wait for help. You don’t stand much of a chance in a toe-to-toe standoff with a rampaging kangaroo, which can swipe at you with clawed hands or deliver powerful kicks to your abdomen while supporting itself on its tail. A kangaroo’s foot claws are sharp enough to slice open a human abdomen.

. Even trained kangaroos aren’t above fighting dirty: Many of the man vs. beast matches ended when the kangaroo delivered an unexpected kick to its opponent’s groin."

If you have a gun with you you can always shoot an attacking 'roo, however you have to be carrying the gun for a legal purpose, not for self defence as that's illegal as is hunting kangaroos; even though there's millions of them.

There's talk of steel nets around schools and chopper flights. Buses may need first aid kits in the bush.
