"A GREENS-led delegation is out to destroy the kangaroo meat industry as it lobbies key European decision-makers, a senior federal government minister says.

Greens senator Lee Rhiannon is in Brussels to discuss with European Parliament members what she terms the “major risk” culling and harvesting poses to the world’s largest marsupials.

About five million roos were harvested in the three years to 2015 from a population of about 45 million, according to government data.

But the trip has been slammed by Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud and an Australian National University wildlife researcher.

“It’s absolutely disgusting that she would go over there and try and destroy the kangaroo industry that has huge potential for jobs in regional Australia,” Mr Littleproud told reporters today.

“They are out there propagating false information.”

Is she mental? The more kangaroo people eat, the less of other types of meat they eat. Does she not realise that clearing native vegetation to make way for pasture is bad for the environment? Isn't that exactly what hippies are always whinging about happening to the Amazon? I guess it doesn't matter if it's not foreign rainforests or old-growth Tasmanian forests being felled. Daft old battleaxe needs to learn a thing or two about ecology.

The Greens want to wreck everything. They were trying to 'wreck the joint' well before some mad feminist and the media coined that phrase. They are probably behind the nutters trying to get rid of horse-drawn carriages in Melbourne, drawn by not horses, but buy "non-human animals", we people being 'human animals', supposedly.

one in ten vote for the marxist.

The leading gunnie in NSW was caught clearing protected wombats from his property. NSW Shooters and Hooters politician Robert Borsak admitted shooting eight endangered elephants in Africa. Think these grubs would protect the environment? No way, look at their track record, it is as clear as the damage they do hooning through the bush in their 4WD's, taking pot shots at everything in sight! Agree Issy?

Paul,

A pathetic attempt at a diversion, let's talk about Rhiannon and Australian jobs.
