00:00 - 00:03 | The cattle have all been moved to the Eastern paddock, per the rotation schedule. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Whilst driving them there, |
00:05 - 00:07 | large mobs of kangaroos were seen leaving the area. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Kangaroo and wombat poo were found in the best areas |
00:12 - 00:15 | And the grass trimmed short and crushed by their daytime sleeping schedule. |
00:17 - 00:19 | These kangaroos, |
00:19 - 00:21 | shoot them all when they return. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mr Grazier... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Kangaroos... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Kangaroos are a protected species. |
00:34 - 00:36 | It is prohibited to shoot them. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone that did not grow up in the country, leave the room. |
01:13 - 01:15 | These animals are a pest! |
01:15 - 01:17 | They destroy my fences! |
01:18 - 01:23 | They're eating out my paddocks! |
01:25 - 01:28 | This is Parks fucking problem! |
01:29 - 01:31 | There's so many out there, |
01:31 - 01:34 | they starve and they have to shoot them all anyway! |
01:34 - 01:37 | They think we can just fence them out, |
01:37 - 01:40 | but they just push under or hang themselves on the top wire! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mr Grazier, they are on our coat of arms and an emblem of our nation! |
01:42 - 01:46 | Just ONE. Not 200 million! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mr Grazier we can apply for tags and have them removed! |
01:48 - 01:52 | They only issue a few hundred tags a year! |
01:53 - 01:54 | We have over 2000! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Never mind the traffic hazard |
01:57 - 02:00 | Or the hobby farmers that breed them in their dormant paddocks. |
02:00 - 02:03 | "We'll just sell kangaroo meat, it's so tasty and lean." |
02:04 - 02:08 | Nobody fucking likes it! Even the Russians stopped importing it. |
02:08 - 02:13 | I'm trying to run a beef farm here, but it feels like a wildlife retreat. |
02:14 - 02:16 | They line the roads when I drive home at night. |
02:17 - 02:21 | I've never seen roos so fucking big. I saw one with paws bigger than my own hands! |
02:27 - 02:29 | And the trade agreement had such potential. |
02:30 - 02:34 | The stock prices are so high, but I can't get enough feed. |
02:34 - 02:36 | And we're heading back into a drought. |
02:41 - 02:42 | I'll just sell to the Chinese. |
02:43 - 02:47 | And let them deal with these tasteless varmints. |
02:48 - 02:53 | They can dig the whole place up looking for rare-earth minerals. |
02:54 - 02:56 | I don't think they'd have to look hard. |
02:56 - 02:59 | This place would be a rock farm without the effort I poured into it. |
03:00 - 03:02 | Driving around spreading seed and super all day. |
03:04 - 03:07 | Lean beef is better for you, and these are the leanest. |
03:14 - 03:16 | I saw pig diggings around the dams. |
03:19 - 03:23 | And a herd of deer came through the backyard. |
03:25 - 03:26 | The dog didn't even bark. |
03:31 - 03:33 | We're not a farmer-friendly nation. |
03:40 - 03:46 | You'd think a Western country with this much land, would have good agriculture policies! |
03:46 - 03:49 | But the urban population just votes in its own interests. |
03:53 - 03:56 | How are the house prices in Sydney? |
