Is crocodile conservation killing Queenslanders? Bob Katter has a plan

Veteran federal MP Bob Katter talks exclusively to 10 News+ about the growing number of crocodiles in the North, which he believes, poses a huge threat to Australians.

Just 50 years ago they were on the endangered list and now there are at least 200,000 crocodiles in northern Australia alone.

The Katter Party wants to introduce a bill that would allow the culling of crocs in certain areas along with the harvesting of eggs.

Katter thinks the threat the animals pose to Aussie farmers and their families is simply not worth the risk.

The bill has created a serious discourse around whether crocs should remain protected or become fair game.
