Haven't heard this in our local media, but it is news overseas.

The article states that there was an estimated 10 million koalas before Europeans set foot in the country and now just 100,000 and they are struggling due to starvation - well that would happen when you decimate their food source.
The Victorian government ought to consider arranging for those working for the dole to plant and establish the appropriate species of eucalypts for the koalas.
