PETER GARRETT IS DEFINITELY A COUPLE OF CANS SHORT OF A SLAB !
The Australian Government and the NSW Forestry Service were presenting an alternative to NSW sheep farmers for controlling the dingo population.
It seems that after years of the sheep farmers using the tried and tested methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the Labour Government (Peter Garrett - Environmental Minister), the NSW Forestry Service and the Greens tree-huggers had a 'more humane' solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males would then be castrated and, wait for it, let loose again.
Therefore, the dingo population would be controlled.
This was ACTUALLY proposed to the NSW Sheep Farmers Association.
All of the sheep farmers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, 'Mr Garrett, son, I don't think you understand our problem, the dingo's aren't fucking our sheep, they're eating them.'
You should have been there to hear the roar of laughter as Mr Peter Garrett and the members of the NSW Forestry Service, the Greens and the other 'tree huggers' left the meeting 'very sheepishly'.
That's what happens when you give someone power just because a load of teenagers liked his records.
It's not finding the best man/woman for the job, it's finding the man/woman who's liked the most, and we call ourselves a progressive country !
Jeeesus! Someone save us from these idiots.....
They walk amongst us and they breed. Be Afraid, Very Afraid.
