Labor notes that crocodile management, including any need for culling, is a matter that is determined by states and territories. There have been times when culling of native animals has been permitted, for example, when animals are suffering from starvation. Labor notes that the states and territories already have plans in place for crocodile management. Labor also recognises the important role that Indigenous protected areas and Indigenous rangers play in managing crocodiles. Labor supports the work of the states and the Northern Territory planning and management rights in this area.
