KANGAROOS are overrunning Australia and the population of the marsupials is double that of humans.

New government data shows Australia’s kangaroo population is close to hitting 50 million.

In 2016, there were almost 45 million kangaroos in Australia, compared to about 27 million in 2010.

Professor Paton said Australia would lose a lot of biodiversity is we didn’t start to tackle the issue of the growing kangaroo population.

“It’s not the kangaroos’ fault they’re overabundant, it’s probably we’ve just been too reluctant to take a stick to them, remove them out of the system sooner, to actually prevent the damage being caused,” he said.

As soon as I saw the title old Rolf came to mind, to bad he had such an appetite for children instead of marsupials, still the song brings a smile.
