Kangaroo cull on again

The ACT Government is pushing for another cull of local Kangaroos, this time on Dept. of Defence land near Belconnen. Defence apparently were not keen to kill the kangaroos, but the ACT Government who appear to love above most things to implement culls, has forced them to, by disallowing the movement of these Kangaroos to another area.
Last time the ACT killed Kangaroos, it elicited worldwide coverage (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6653397.stm and http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-05-14-kangaroo_N.htm?csp=34), let's hope the same applies again this time.

In the meantime contact Animal Liberation ACT if you can help.
