Splash pool at Aurukun for kids who are unable to safely swim in any local waterways due to large numbers of crocodiles
By Jim O’Toole, Townsville
Four Far Northern Queensland tour operators who make money from showing naïve tourists cute and cuddly man-eating crocodiles infesting every bit of surface water from Maryborough to Papua New Guinea, have offered rewards to catch the persons who killed two crocs several weeks ago at Daintree.

Cairns News will counter their stupidity by offering a substantial reward to any person who reveals the identity of any informant who dobs in the shooters.
Croc-mania has been going on for long enough with idiots donating money to look for croc shooters when hundreds of cars across the far north disappear on a weekly basis causing utmost social upheaval to elderly people and small business owners tying up scant police resources indefinitely.
Home invasions cause terrible angst in home owners when occupants more often than not get injured or killed. The loss of transport to young people who scraped and saved to buy their first car to enable them to get to work or university is devastating.
Maybe the car thieves and home invaders should be fed to crocs?
The mother earth worshippers would do a much better community service by putting up rewards to help police catch the Mr Bigs controlling kids involved in the stealing of thousands of cars in the state every year.
In April Cairns lost 80 cars to apparent organized car theft. We can only suggest the croc huggers lose a car or two or get caught up in a vicious home invasion which might re-calibrate their woke wisdom.
Townsville has lost 639 cars so far this year to theft, which is unsustainable. There are no data on how many have been recovered.
There are tens of thousands of salt water crocs and even more freshwater crocs infesting every waterway in north Queensland. One property on Cape York, a long way from any coastline has reported salties in one third of its stock water dams and many others in tiny creeks and seasonal waterways.
Stock losses are reported to be substantial and this writer has seen in recent times maimed cattle and horses in paddocks north of Townsville that were fortunate enough to get away from marauding crocs.
Where are Animals Australia or the RSPCSA?
A property owner in the Lower Gulf told Cairns News some years ago that 63 plastic cattle ear tags were retrieved from the stomach contents of a large croc.
We do not imagine the family or friends of the latest crocodile victim from Laura would have a favorable opinion of rewards for croc shooters.
Oblivious tourists launching boats from ramps, creek banks or beaches on Cape York are playing Russian roulette with their lives.
Stories of crocs grabbing dogs during boat launching on the Cape are now far too numerous to remember. We only have to ask members from any Aboriginal community on the Cape how many dogs, and in some places, horses, they lose to illustrate how croc numbers are way out of control.
Labor Member for Cook (Cape York) and indigenous woman Cynthia Lui after years of complaints about croc numbers keeping kids out of any water, salt or fresh on the Cape, was forced to provide, wait for it, ’splash pools’ in communities so kids could swim safely and hopefully not get eaten by a croc.
There are at least four communities with splash pools so far costing several million dollars and ongoing.
Every community is situated on the coastline and has a nearby river.
We have been told councils do check these splash pools before allowing kids to use them.
This readers is just more of Labor, Greens and Daintree insanity.
Editor: Two readers have offered to contribute a reward as mentioned.
A very emotive argument I will happily buy into. Crocodiles of course should not be shot, they are part of the Australian Defence Forces, also there is too much lead being sprayed around for the environment so the crocodiles should be speared with traditional natural wooden spears sharpened in the fire. This would also help to ameliorate certain social problems. Unfortunately it is a reality-based solution and we are not controlled on this basis.
So the real reason crocodiles are being over-protected goes back to the Egyptian crocodile head god whose name is Sobek. Those who pull the strings of those who make the rules, are heavily into all that stuff. All those rules that don’t make any sense have one thing in common, they all come from THE TOP.
What Happened to the Outback Camps That were doing a Great Job With Kids Teaching them to Be Better little Humans ,Horse Riding,Wrangling,How to Cook ETC ETC,it SHOULD be Bought Back
I’ll have the crocodile sandwich. And make it snappy!
The fashion houses need to bring crocodile bags, shoes, suitcases, belts, hats and pants back in
Roll out the marketing for the goods asap.
Start shooting the beasts asap.
With bonuses given to the biggest beasts shot.
The author said – “Where are Animals Australia or the RSPCSA?”
They’re too busy molesting children, extorting money and sex from hapless animal owners across Australia, and running other assorted racketeering enterprises.
And BTW, that’s not a facetious or embellished statement. The “Royal” in the name should give a clue.
@Tony Ryan Thank you Tony. Sanctimonious Christians – good one, I love it – ROTFL. The most sanctimonious people I have met in my 80 years have been atheists. They are just so good, would never do anything wrong. Yet it’s hard to meet an atheist not into pornography and shagging all the chicks they can and worse evils. All those LGBTQ+++ gender benders – could they be almost all atheists? Why are most criminals atheists? Oh. but they would never shoot a crocodile, or a shark or a snake or a flying fox. I am a bad person, I would shoot every croc I could.
I have studied history and the Bible. Prove to me what I outlined below is incorrect instead of making stupid general claims. Strange how Bible Prophecy has foretold history in outline of the world today.
Obviously you believe Nothing created Everything out of Nothing. Oh wait, no, a super compressed bit smaller than an atom exploded to form the universe we see. Yeah right. It some time ago that an explosion happened in a pile of bricks, concrete, steel and glass on a block of land I used to drive past every day. Next time I drove past, there was a new mall. And of course a bit of stone became mankind after 4 billion years. Give me a break Tony, what stupidity.
On the other hand, I could give you 9 antagonistic ancient historians and philosophers who wrote about Jesus Christ and summarise 22 things they said about him that match what’s said in the Bible.
You do have a good solution for the out of control youngsters though. I love the usual good old sanctimonious atheist. They give me a laugh in my old age. I look forward to reading you comments. But you do write practical sense sometimes.
Remember, It’s appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement. Hebrews 9:27. Good luck Tony and all those other atheists out there.
What imaginative bullshit. I operated a safari in the north (Far North Safari) for eight years and although there were some total frauds amongst the guides, I never once encountered that “soft and cuddly” narrative.
I only ever came across one guide who was irresponsible with crocs, which caused a death, and I blame myself for not flogging him better.
Clearly, O’Toole drinks in the wrong pub.
And why mix and match targets? Just shoot the car thieves and don’t tell the police. Anyone touches my troopie and they will be whisked away out bush in a heartbeat, cable-tied to sapplings and left there. Of course I will pray to Jesus to rescue the little shits so I can’t be accused of callousness. I do lot’s of praying.
Jesus must listen to me because not one has ever been seen in court again. Another thing, Jesus like we atheists way better than sanctimonious Christians. He told me that.
Amen to that Jim O’Toole, Surely we’ve had enough of this Mother Earth worshiping.
BTW, its origins:
UCA News July 15, 2015 Francis, a Pope who saves Creation, issued an encyclical [a letter to all Bishops] called Laudato Si. He called on bishops to instill the spirit of care to save all plants and animals from extinction by climate change. There are cries of anguish from our sister, Mother Earth. She weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and her destruction. Is this not pantheism? Canadian Jesuit Michael Czerny of the Vatican’s ecology office, said that exploration for coal, oil and gas must end immediately and existing production phased out urgently.
There’s an annual “Laudato Si” get together to whip up enthusiasm. In 2022 it was in Tanzania, Africa. Bishops are urged to create “Laudato Si” clubs and organise community involvement. Come on folks, this a great idea, get involved. 200,000 cows are going to be killed in each of Holland and Ireland and plenty in Australia.
With any movement like this, look for a Jesuit. There’s Michael Czerny. The Pope himself is a Jesuit. He is presented to the world as a gentle old man who wouldn’t harm a fly. The Pope organised the criminal Paris Accord and was even given a seat of Honour in recognition.
The RC is neck deep in controlling the genocidal depopulation and globalist Agenda 21/30.
Are the World governments obeying? Yes, like dogs obeying their master. Is it by popular demand? Yes, like sheep. Are they generating popular demand for action? Yes. Did the same happen with Covid? Yes. These policies originate in the Vatican. The Voice: The Brennan Brothers.
Do you doubt where the Climate Change hysteria in textbooks comes from? Or the media alarmism?
