"Duck shooting is a violent, cruel, antisocial activity that really has no place in the 21st century.
"The number of duck shooters when we first started in 1986 were about 100,000 to today where there are only around 14,000.Mr Law said the pursuit was still popular and was not dying out."We have over 26,000 licensed duck hunters on our books, [but] there's no doubt there's a portion of the community that finds the sport unacceptable," he said.
"It's a contested space so that's why we need to make it a practice that happens in a way the community does find acceptable. "We don't consider duck hunting a sport, but a cultural pursuit; hunters hunt because they want to put food on their family table."

'People screamed and ran': Fireworks malfunction at Skyfire in CanberraA barge bursts into flames, sending embers flying into the crowd and forcing some spectators to duck for cover, after a firework malfunctions during Canberra's annual Skyfire event. Totally support the sign. I stay away from these because I suspect they are environmentally damaging. Given how it worked out, surely this event was sponsored by, or even organised by, LiberalAus. My most fun fireworks show ever was when the fireworks malfunctioned at Perth Supreme Court Gardens, coloured balls everywhere

Victoria can, and should, lead the country on climate changeSome of Scott Morrison’s recent climate change offerings have merit but overall they fail to limit pollution from coal and gas power stations. The man has zero vision and is simply saying what he thinks we want to hear so he can win votes. He has demonstrated an open contempt for the science and an unshakable commitment to coal. He is yesterday's has been. CallTheElection NotMyPM SA was the leader and look what happened to the SA's power reliability. Please name one reason why Victoria should lead in the path of senseless ruin? Why not be smart, let someone else lead and we'll follow when we are sure it works. DanielAndrewsMP billshortenmp CEO of Environment Victoria - yep sounds like a reasonable and unbalanced source with no vested interest. We’ve heard the earth has 12 years to go for the last 30 years

Murder extends Victoria’s 10-day spreeA single shot fired just before midnight on Sunday woke residents southeast of Melbourne, left one man dead and added to a growing death toll from gun-related violence in 2019. Hmm, funny how the more 'diverse' nations become the more of these kinds of crimes happen, gun laws haven't loosened to suddenly cause these shootings. Perhaps its nothing to do with gun laws, but who is in your country. The UK is experiencing the same issue right now. Jonatho43827873 Most liveable city? ColleenLavelle1 Crickey...Melbourne's in a bit of trouble....I just hope no innocent bystanders get hurt or shot.

Female fans dwindling as NRL deals with 'off-season from hell'After a recent spate of sex tapes, there are growing fears the game is losing the battle for the hearts and minds of female fans. Some players have damaged their own club brand and the NRL brand with their poor personal behaviour. Of course this impacts both their female and male fans who have ditched NRL to better sports. . Wow! ABC must have a crystal ball calling this before the first game... . NRL doesn't have a female problem - it has a dckhd problem. We DON'T need women who are just riding the coattails of social change, we need leaders of either sex. Clubland culture is poor. Men must fix it too. Go herself said she couldn't make a difference - NOT A LEADER. .
