State Member for Barwon Roy Butler met with the team behind the Pig Bounty Trial in Tottenham at the local Men’s Shed recently.
The successful pig bounty trial conducted by the Tottenham NSW Farmers, the Local Land Services NSW and the Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters Association.
While in town, Mr Butler caught up with Lachlan Shire Mayor John Medcalf OAM, where they engaged in wide ranging discussions.
“While I went to Tottenham to talk pig bounties, we ended up discussing a whole range of issues in the area,” a post on the Roy Butler MP Facebook Page read.
“Health accommodation and health recruitment are issues everywhere, but in small rural places like Tottenham, it is felt deeply.
“The Land Management Code and native vegetation mapping also came up as an issue. The incorrect mapping is impacting local farmers, and it needs to be ground-truthed. This is something I will keep working on.
“And of course, we discussed the successful pig bounty trial conducted by the Tottenham NSW Farmers, the Local Land Services NSW and the Australian Pig Doggers and Hunters Association. Premier Chris Minns has spoken positively about a bounty program for pest species. I will continue to support such initiatives in discussions with the Premier,” the post concluded.
