Feral Cats

I think we all agree that Feral Cats are an enormous problem, especially in desert areas, and will lead to the extinction of various species of birds, mammals and reptiles in the short and medium terms unless something is done. However, while governments across Australia (whether Liberal or Labor) continue to be inflected with the neo-liberal ideology of governments-should-do-nothing-the-only-important-thing-is-to-have-a-budget-surplus then I suggest that it is unlikely that anything will get done. Perhaps as well as writing to our MPs and the Minister we should also start to contest the notion that governments should do nothing as well in as many contexts as we can. — John Leonard
