Thanks to Australian mining industry and profits the working people are creating... a lot of otherwise unemployable people can survive supported by generous taxpayers... but as usual those "protesters" are used by all sort of charlatans in their political games (again to live on without gainful employment) with their snouts deeply in taxpayer trough... an of course they are totally unaware of a real story behind the issues they are "protesting"... and I suspect the bush in question will be lost on their watch at next hot season IMHO/ DYRO:

1/ "The survival of Tasmanian Devils is seriously threatened by Devil Facial Tumour Disease which develops rapidly and is fatal. Once the highly infectious cancerous tumours appear around the mouth, face and neck, the Devils generally die within three to six months."

2/ "Even today, their mobility and opportunistic behaviour exposes them to a range of threats, including dogs, foxes, cane toads, cars, and retaliatory killing at chook-pens. This ecological fragility may explain why spotted-tailed quolls are not found in many areas of suitable and protected habitat"

3/ "Are Quolls related to Tasmanian devils? It's fun to mess with your cousins, and quolls are related to Tasmanian devils. Both are carnivorous marsupials in the family Dasyuridae. ... Quolls were driven extinct in Australia by a mixture of disease and predation by foxes and feral cats."

4/ "Quolls are carnivorous marsupials that hunt at night for birds, small mammals, and reptiles. Quolls can range up to 4 or 5 kilometres while looking for prey and do not discern between wildlife and domestic hens. ... Consequently, quolls have often been, and still are, killed when raiding domestic poultry."

5/ "But when people tried to reintroduce them to the mainland just 13 years later, the quolls were quickly eaten by dingoes—a threat their for-bearers had more easily avoided."
