The Queensland Liberals have called for crocodiles to be culled because people are being eaten.
The party's annual state convention in Brisbane has passed a motion put forward by Senator Ian McDonald for crocodile numbers to be reduced in populated areas.
One delegate, Brett Blade, told the convention that lives are at risk
"You can't allow crocodiles to come into the main street of Cairns and eat people - and that is exactly what's happening," he said.
"If you go up north, believe me they have come into town and they have walked down main streets.
"It also helps create a new industry where we can export crocodile shoes and hand bags - so we're making money out of it."
LOL! Yeah. As I said, the mind is more than a little fatigued at the minute.
