Shooters called in as rabbits plague Parliament House

"We do some targeting shooting in some places," she said.Rabbits have long plagued central Canberra, particularly near Lake Burley Griffin, but their populations have noticeably increased during the wet La Niña weather cycle.

The NCA and the ACT government's use of contract shooters is not new, but more work than usual is underway to deal with surging rabbit populations. The ACT government said rabbits and their feeding posed a serious threat to the survival of native birds, mammals and insects, and their warrens eroded the soil.

I’m surprised it’s not Locusts! 😁

Wouldn't a 3rd option at the polls one of no confidence in all proposals put forth by all candidates and parties stop the vermin from being so complacent and breeding

Ex PM Mr Abbott

A Plague of rabbits outside Parliament House. Some might say there is a problem inside as well with all the dodgy sexual escapades the current government is producing and has produced as well.

Maybe time to stop all the pollution that is aired in parliamentary speeches and have a clean speech policy

Does the answer about controlled injection lay in this story....too many rabbits so kill them......too many human population.......give them pathetic lies and introduce them to an injection that will cull !!!!!!!!

What are they going to do with all of the goats,that are inside the building

Feral animals around building containing feral people. Birds of a feather, stick together!!!

What are they going to do about the plague of jackasses?

White supremacists hate bunnies

Leave the bunnies alone 😡😡😡

Mixo.

awww bunnies!😰 isnt there an alternative

Professional shooters might venture inside too!!

So Kangaroo's on light rail tracks are a less important story to the dair and balanced ABC then bunnies at the back of the War Memorial?

Call Emperor Nasi Goreng

An animal that rapes getting into federal politics? LiberalAus getting those replacements in quickly.

I thought the plague was politicians

I would have thought the rabbits were the least of the pests plaguing parliament house

There's a lot of ferals inside that need eradicating too! 🤣

Believe it or not they have a shortage of them in the UK. Maybe we should send them there. 🤔

This story really lends itself to a lot of bad taste jokes, 🤣😁😁

Its that time again

can't we capture them and send them to peta and vganbooty to look after for the rest of their lives and their children's lives and their children's childrens lives

Got to shoot the ferals. Feral rabbit fur makes the best felt for hats, its one use for the deceased vermin. The only shooting I support is shooting feral vermin like rabbits

Barnaby, is that you?

I wonder if they would do the same if it was brumbies.

Let them in, they couldn't do a worse job running the place than the mob already there.

Everyone happy to cue the napalm?

Maggot plague there too!!!

Maybe we can build a replica of the Great Wall of China... to keep the rabbits out.

Can the shooters have a go at the much larger pests at that place?

Just leave them alone! It's not like they're going up to people and hassling them

the real plague is the proliferation of useless parasites in the Houses inside

How much per bullet?

Harry can sort this one out haha get him on the committee

“In other countries, they might get shot...madam deputy speaker!”

Will the start with the “hare-brained” of the coalition?

Clean up any other rodents you see too, yeah? Cheers!

Are rabbits attracted to nuts, cos there's a lot of them in Parliament house 🤔

Rabbits or bunnies?

And City Hill. Have you seen it? Been saying the place needs a cull for ages. Walking through there at night is disturbing 😐

No,not rabbits. They’re weasels & their names are Scott,Josh,Greg,etc The list goes on.

What about the plagues of liars, bullies and molesters?

Why waste bullets? Give them a covid jab

mmmm, the rabbits outside the Parliament i presume?

The only plague at Parliament House are correct LNP politicians

Shhh! It's wabbit season.

We have a plague of rats at parliament house wearing blue ties and suits.
