Which of the following was NOT in today’s Sydney Morning Herald ?
1) Under pressure from conservation groups to manage problem feral animal populations, the Australian government has begun issuing permits to hunt the following animals: feral pigs, goats, dogs and cats, as well as foxes and hares – all introduced species. Hunters may use modern rifles, black-powder rifles, hunting bows, or dogs. A spokesman for hunting groups said hunters hunted for a variety of reasons -“meat, trophies or for the social aspect”. At this point the wild ‘brumbies’, or feral ponies made famous in the film The Man From Snowy River, are not included on the list.
2) Immigration minister Amanda Vanstone today announced children of refugees being held in the desert detention facility at Woomera will get a visit from the Easter bunny in early April. The mostly Muslim children will be brought individually to receive coloured eggs in a small reception area at the prison. Those children too traumatized by their current surroundings to interact will recieve a colouring book instead.

3) Australian prime minister, John Howard, has stated as part of his workplace reform package workers could be fired for “excessive complaing”.
4) Australian study finds wearing of bicycle helmets actually a public health risk. Although helmets prevent head injuries, this is offset by the number of people who would ride for exercise, but do not because they feel wearing a helmet makes them look like a dork.
