Western NSW grain growers are beginning to fear that this year’s winter crop will be decimated by feral mice as the overwhelming rodent plague escalates across the state.
Mice populations have spiked well beyond manageable numbers, with the agricultural sector alerting government officials to increasing reports of them ruining crops, destroying stored hay and invading silos, sheds and homes.
Houses in town are no longer safe, as rural families begin to fear that they are going to wake up one morning and find their kids chewing on a mouse carcass
Farmers are now desperately seeking new control methods to save their operations from destruction, but are yet to hear peep from the political party that they voted into power in 2019.
So far, the only politician in all of Australia to address this scourge was the state Ag minister, who made it clear he has run out of ideas.
Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has not commented on the plague currently ravaging his voter heartland, but a statement from his office told our reporters to stop being soft cocks.
“Until we get reports of mice inside the dongers at Whitehaven Coal, or Moolarben, we aren’t gonna do shit” read the statement.
“Stop being soft cocks. This is an issue for the states. We aren’t in the business of responding to the concerns of these whingeing farmers. We thought we’d heard the last of them when it started raining”
Senator Matt Canavan echoed these sentiments.
“Until Gina or Clive or those clog wogs at Glencore give us the word, it’s up to the landowners to deal with” said the Queensland senator, and part-owner of his family’s own coal mine.
“If they were so concerned about their stupid farms then they’d stop voting in the Shooters and Fishers”
“Pardon the pun, but you reap what you sow haha”
