"Two-and-a-half years into the kangaroo fertility trial, the ACT government has spent about $600,000 to deliver a contraceptive to 135 kangaroos, and a placebo to 10 more."

Makes one wonder; about $80 for suitable ammunition and the 145 'roos could have been permanently neutered.

The contraceptive is GonaCon . good name. The roos are in effect dead for breeding and have 2 people shooting each one. Canberra funded research into a surfboard for women. It all wins votes and polls so is definitely worth every $.

I find it interesting that 10 'roos got a olacebo.

Does this mean that if those 'roos don't breed that the placebo effect can take place with the recipient having only the mental capacity of a ...of a.. a kangaroo?

I always knew that 'roos were dumb but it seems that there are some humans that are also likely to run in front of cars.

The minister does Corrective Services and Sport and Recreation which is a bit sadistic. However he is determined about Green House gas control from ACT kangaroo breath and heavy industry . As placebos double the amount of work for genocide shooters then a person of his brain believes the science.

more scary Is Mise is that people vote for these clowns. Usually in CAnberra public servants protecting their own ' privileges'.

Clowns are not very smart. "Since other people have trained Kangaroos and regard them as intelligent animals, I have to assume that the Kangaroo handlers on the show were not using suitable techniques. Perhaps they had started off with the idea that Kangaroos are untrainable.

Based on my own observation and the things I hear from wildlife carers, Marsupials generally have a similar level of intelligence to comparable placental animals.

Two different people who have kept Quolls in their household have said that their intelligence is similar to that of a Cat.

The limited information about the Thylacine suggest that their intelligence was comparable to a wolf, and somewhat higher than most breeds of Dog.

Wombats seem to exibit very high intelligence.
Marsupial intelligence is a subject that needs more investigation."
