VICTORIA Valley sheep stud farmers, John and Rhonda Crawford, were still waiting for the Victorian Government to publicly respond to the recommendations made in the Inquiry into Ecosystems Decline in Victoria report, before going into caretaker mode for the election.

They said that farmers and rural businesses were opposed to the reintroduction because of the huge risk of destruction to their livestock and farming enterprises, and to native fauna, as well as the health and safety of residents in the local areas.
