The CSIRO will publish a peer-reviewed study on the number of Koalas currently alive in Australia. They've used new study methods such a thermal drone technology and audio recorders, which have "revealed koalas to be more widespread in some habitats than previously known". These technologies have given scientists a "much more spatially comprehensive and sensitive survey data".

The result? Well the CSIRO have found that there are vastly greater numbers of what John Brown, the Hawke government minister for the environment, described as "flea-ridden, piddling, stinking, scratching, rotten little things". In 2023 the CSIRO thought there were between 287,830 and 628,010 koalas in Australia. Now their figures are 729,000 to 918,000.

900, 000!! So much for going extinct.

Now you'd normally think that the koala industry would be thrilled to find that their favourite critter wasn't going the way of the Dodo.

But alas no. This is a disaster for them. Entire careers have been based around saving koalas from extinction. Fortunes made. Institutions funding raising like there's no tomorrow, which is what they tell a gullible public. And now!....poof, all gone.

Whatismore, all those anti-loggers who use the alleged extinction of the koala as an excuse to shut down whole areas of forest to the wood harvesting industry, have lost all their legal points overnight.

But fear not. The koala industry doesn't give up that easily. Mere facts aren't enough to stop these charlatans from keeping the scam going. They've already announced that they have no intention of accepting the science and will stick by their claims that there are less that 100,000 of the critters in Australia.

It'll be interesting to see if the CSIRO sticks to its guns or if the politics of the issue will force them to backdown and go along to get along as they've done with the climate debate

The obsession with wild animals most people will never see off a TV screen is one of their more harmless idiosyncrasies; not so harmless is the serious effect mad activists and paid “experts” have on Australia’s economy and growth.

Just wait until they find ‘endangered’ species nobody has heard of when it comes to mining rare earths/minerals for America as per the deal our supporter of environmentalism and aboactivism, Albanese, signed up for with Donald Trump.
