Outback cattle station granted permit to cull 20,000 native birds

Newcastle Waters cattle station in Australia's Northern Territory has been granted a permit to cull 20,000 native birds, including 15,000 galahs and 5,000 little corellas, starting November 2025. The operator says unsustainable bird populations damage crops and equipment. Conservation groups question the scientific basis for the cull, calling it one of the largest such permits ever issued.
