Half the Birds, Double the Killing: Labor Approves Full Duck Shooting Season

The Allan Labor Government has just approved a full length duck shooting season despite record low bird numbers.  

Most recent waterbird surveys counted 50% plummet in bird numbers from the previous year. 

It was one of the lowest counts in the 42 year history of the survey. 

Scientists warned that more than a quarter of a million waterbirds have disappeared since the last count. But the government has ignored all logic, allowing at least an additional 400,000 native ducks to be shot for fun. 

The Victorian Premier has handed this season to shooters on a silver platter - and we won't let her get away with it.
