What happened
The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is seeking feedback on changes to Australia's national fox management plan, which has been overhauled over 18 years. David Gibb criticized the 121-page draft, arguing that it places a heavy emphasis on conservation while only dedicating four paragraphs to agriculture.

Why it matters
The plan establishes a national framework for coordinating the response to the European red fox. Gibb noted that the impact of foxes on the sheep industry is significant, suggesting the plan does not adequately address negative impacts on agriculture.
