Stuart Harradine says dingoes, or wilkerr as they are known in Weirgaia language, are a spiritual relation to his community and need to be looked at as more than a pest.
"Let's call them by what they actually are, which is dingoes," he said.He said there were remnant dingo populations living in the Big Desert Wilderness Park, Wyperfeld National Park, and also over the border in South Australia at the Ngarkat Conservation Park.Underbool farmer Stephen Lynch said when he ran about 1,500 ewes on his property, up to a dozen lambs would be attacked by dogs each night."I've done a rough calculation and it would be up around $100,000 [lost].
"No one would question that losing livestock to dingoes is stressful, and it can actually lead to some really quite horrendous outcomes in a personal health sense, as well as economic costs," he said.He said using conservation tools to help accommodate dingoes in the landscape while protecting livestock was possible."There's a role for strategic fencing as well.
"Given they are very much under threat of extinction, we really feel obligated to stand up and start seeking the protection of wilkerr," he said. The environment minister did not respond to direct questions about whether they would renew the order.
