#Cull of 20,000 #NativeBirds at #NewcastleWaters #CattleStation will not go ahead after parent company intervened. In a social media post, the parent company of #ConsolidatedPastoralCompany, which operates the station, said it was unaware of the licence and instructed staff to cease any culling plans "immediately". The parent company, #TerraFirma, says it will meet with "relevant environmental groups" when leaders visit #Australia later this year. "As the owner of #CPC, we were not aware of the application for a licence to cull birds at Newcastle Waters," the company said in its post. "We have made clear to CPC leadership that this is #CompletelyUnacceptable. "We have instructed the Newcastle Waters leadership team, and CPC senior management to cease any plans for culling immediately. #auspol #wildlife #birds #Australia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-18/newcastle-waters-cattle-station-bird-cull-stopped/106693348
