The release of a report this week by an independent biostatistician has led to calls to the Australian Alpine Authority to immediately engage in a 2023 count of Brumbies for the whole of the Australian Alpine National Park. The Authority conducts the counts for both Victorian and New South Wales managers, who rely upon the counts to inform management plans.

For decades, Brumby Advocates have called out the reported numbers of Stewart Cairns as being not only misleading but impossible.

This new report  prepared by an expert biostatistician explains why the figures are flawed.

State managers can no longer rely upon flawed numbers to make important decisions about Brumby populations, not limited to engaging in barbaric and cruel culls of populations.

In Victoria, Brumbies have been shot despite approved rehomers being ignored and in New South Wales, Brumbies in the Kosci National Park are protected with Legislation that calls for retention of sustainably managed mobs.

This new report shines a whole new light on Brumby management in the Australian Alpine National Park.

There is a call to the Senate Committee to intervene to ensure that no further activity takes place pending the hearing of the Inquiry into Brumbies in the Australian Alpine Park.
