January 2025
In January 2025 the Australian Broadcasting Commission (the ABC from hereon) ran the series Eat The Invaders ‘a provocative attempt to turn our unwanted ecological trash into desirable culinary gold.’ There were six episodes each of which dealt with one invasive species: Rabbit, Carp, Cane Toad, Camel, Cat (both feral and domestic) and Deer. The episode on deer also looked at the Long Spined Sea Urchin, not an invader but nonetheless a pest, causing damage to kelp forests and the fragile ecosystem of which they are a part.
