Total load of ****ing cods wallop.

Well well, and so nicely put. However, I am not _quite_ sure of what
exactly you are trying to say in reponse.

Rabbits (, hares, foxes, numerous birds, trout, etc) were brought to
Australia by various acclimatisation societies in the 19th century,
where they basically ran amuck because there were insufficent predators.

The real scream about rabbits has been for decades from people wanting
to farm them, but arse hole bureacrats in various agriculture/primary
industry government departments said no.

Want to farm rabbits do we? So I _think_ you are saying that farming
rabbits is a good way to control them, given you opinion of those who
oppose it? I question this. Ask NZ about deer, and farming, and what
happens there. We have a couple of deer farms around here, (OZ) and
they get out regularly, in spite of 3 metre fences. They live in the
bussh, but not as successfully as rabbits.

What really ensures the bunny is going to be around for a long, long
time is old farmers and their sons who lived through the depression and
various droughts. Rabbits are the closest most people can come to living
off the land (unless you can stomach cat). So, most have a patch hidden
away, just in case another hard times come around.

Huh?
