NSW Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty is defending fines imposed on landowners who fail to participate in a feral pig control program, despite receiving violent online threats. The program aims to manage the damaging impact of feral pigs on agricultural land and the environment. Moriarty stated it is “not fair” on those actively involved in the cull if others do not contribute. The Minister confirmed the threats have been reported to police, but haven't deterred her from upholding the regulations. Landowners face substantial fines for non-compliance with the control plan, designed to reduce the growing feral pig population. The policy has sparked debate, balancing property rights with collective responsibility for pest management. Moriarty maintains the fines are a necessary measure to ensure effective control and protect neighboring properties.
