Crocs rock as livestock

ONE Nation will establish “crocodile ranches” across Queensland if it wins power at the next state election.

State party leader Steve Dickson said the reptiles were no longer endangered and it was time to turn them into a commercial business to curb growing numbers.

“In north Queensland, every time the flooding rains come half of the crocodile eggs are drowned and they just go to waste,” he said yesterday.

“We want to work with indigenous communities to be able to collect those eggs and start crocodile farms.”
