The King and Queen of CQ Big Boar Competition involves a feral pig hunt at Jambin, Central Queensland over three daysExperts say better monitoring is needed to gauge the effects of these hunts and properly combat the feral pig problem in Queensland
"We've been coming ever since it started … [boars] are appearing in a lot more places now," Mr Clarke said. "Feral pigs will impact on crops, pastures … they may prey on livestock," Australia's National Feral Pig Management coordinator Dr Heather Channon said. "[Boars] go into it and work into the middle … where they're not so visible where they feel safer," Mr Semple said."They do a lot of damage to crops they can cause hundreds-of-thousands of dollars worth."At least 70 per cent of Australia's feral pigs need to be culled each year in order to prevent rapid population recovery.
Farm manager Adrian Roots says boar hunting has become an important part of addressing one of his land's "biggest problems".

‘Not a joke’: Joe Biden tells troops their biggest challenge is global warming | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says next up Joe Biden will “appoint Greta Thunberg” as his national security advisor after the US President told troops their biggest challenge was global warming.\n\nIt comes after President Biden arrived in the UK for the G7 Summit as well as other bilateral meetings.\n\n“While in the UK, Biden, the commander in chief, addressed some US troops, and as you would expect, the commander in chief spoke to them about global security threats, and the main challenge for the soldiers might have been keeping a straight face,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“China is throwing its weight around, fortifying islands, building up its armed forces, and bullying its neighbours, and Russia has invaded and annexed its neighbours, while Iran is fuelling terrorist uprisings against Israel and destabilising the Middle East.\n\n“And Joe Biden tells his troops their biggest challenge is global warming.\n\n“Next up he’ll appoint Greta Thunberg as his national security advisor.”\n Why not ? Chris Kenny still thinks Trump is a god. Give me Greta any day over Trump. Wouldn’t thought the military’s biggest challenge was keeping America safe. Chris makes up the dumbest content. Prove me wrong.

Race guilt and race shame are now ‘taking hold’ in Australia: Andrew Bolt | Sky News AustraliaCritical race theory is not about justice and equality, it is about “racial vengeance,” according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“The threat to our freedoms, to our values, it doesn’t just come from outside,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“There’s also plenty of people inside the west who don’t think the west is actually worth defending.\n\n“Who think it’s evil, oppressive, racist, dominated by white people who are rotten to the core.\n\n“I’m telling you, this is coming … it’s this new anti-white racism, or critical race theory.”\n\nMr Bolt said we are seeing more and more white people “react in one of two terrible ways – both also racist”.\n\n“Some resort to the very same racism themselves, they fight anti-white racism with anti-black racism, it’s tribal,” he said.\n\n“Other whites surrender, as members of the guilty race, some literally kowtow to their black neighbours.\n\n“This is what is now taking hold in Australia, race guilt, race shame, judging people by their race, white people bad.\n\n“And this is the country that now – with China rampant - calls on its people to defend it. Good luck.”\n Andrew ...Why is News Corp/SKY trying to bring Critical Race Theory to Australia? Are you trying to bring back the 'White Australia Policy' that ended in the mid-1970s? Its the Australia of your childhood.

We must stop China

How Drag Race Down Under has let our local drag scene downThe hotly anticipated first local season of the hit drag queen competition is missing the mark when it comes to race and representation. Never watched the show. RU Paul is mean. Period. I’m sure I’ve seen contestants from the bachelor with more racial diversity than this. MasterChef has more Asian contestants. Maybe just because white people like to dance and Asian people like to cook.
