All they need is foxes.

While that may seem a relatively simple solution, foxes are not native to Australia and couldn't be imported to be set free in the wild.

The problem is that rabbits are a non-native species in Australia and having no natural predators have bred in numbers not to be believed.

Fox problems in Australia

Yes, then you have to introduce a pred. when the foxes are out of control.
I think the only enemy of the fox is teh3-toes sloath. Then you need to introduce hump back whales to get rid of all the sloaths.
Its a never ending cycle.
A-Kuna-matada!

No natural predators? Rabbits? Wow...things sure are different down under :-P

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes but don’t you know that TWO non-native species make a right?

Seems that since they can’t get rid of it because there ARE no natural predator, they NEED to bring in its natural predator to start getting the numbers under control.

Then of course, if the foxes get out of control, we’ll just bring in this species of gorilla that loves foxes. The beauty of it is in the winter, the gorillas all just die off. /simpsons
