This week, we’re investigating a controversial strategy to control Bendigo’s pests by reintroducing an apex predator — the dingo.
It’s a response to Victoria’s growing Kangaroo population, which has increased by approximately one million since 2017.
The national icon is decimating crops, causing car accidents, and destroying ecosystems. Hundreds of thousands are culled by hunters every year, but critics say this ignores the root of the problem, and Bendigo is now considering a more innovative solution.
In today's episode, you'll hear from Jade Murray about her reporting on the controversial proposal. Her article was co-published by The Citizen and The Bendigo Advertiser and is part of an ongoing Regional Reporting project focused on Greater Bendigo, or Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
