The NSW Parliament is currently debating the potential repeal of the Kosciuszko Wild Horse Heritage Act, a law that has faced significant opposition from the community. A petition spearheaded by the Invasive Species Council garnered 11,331 signatures, highlighting widespread discontent regarding the act.
Independent Member for Wagga Wagga, Dr. Joe McGirr, presented the petition in Parliament, receiving support from various MPs across the political spectrum. This community-led initiative underscores the growing concern over the management of feral horse populations in the region.
The outcome of this debate could have significant implications for wildlife management and conservation efforts in New South Wales, as stakeholders continue to voice their opinions on the balance between heritage and ecological integrity.
