The petitioners pray that this honourable house will call on the government (in relation to the Central Mount Lofty Ranges) to: Improve the assessment process for destruction permits for kangaroos so that the applicant’s claims of numbers of kangaroos are verified by sightings and/or a survey of neighbours and claims of alleged damage being caused are verified; Revoke existing permits in Mylor and Longwood until kangaroo numbers and commercial consequences of claimed damage are verified; Refuse permits to applicants if the claimed economic losses or the claimed numbers of kangaroos cannot be verified; and Refuse yellow tag requests which allow kangaroo carcasses to be taken off the property.
