LITERNATURA &#; Donkeys are the trigger for a key idea in the novel. What is their presence in Australia today? If they are no longer used for agricultural work, what has been done with them?
Alexis Wright&#; It is known that across Northern Australia there are five million feral donkeys. Originally, they were introduced in early colonial Australia as pack animals, along with camels, both being hardier to the extremes of the local climate and geography than horses. Donkeys are extremely hardy, and have survived well in the arid environments of Australia. With the introduction of motorized transportation early in the 20th century, meant that many of these animals were released, or abandoned. They have roamed freely ever since and have grown into large populations in remote parts of the North. Feral donkeys have generally been regarded as pests causing environmental damage, and damage across pastoral land. Eradication programs have included shooting at these animals from helicopters, and sterilization. Although now, with more research, it is thought that the donkey’s ecological niche may correspond to—and benefit—the natural ecosystem from having replaced extinct Australian megafauna.
Why did you choose donkeys and butterflies as the key species in the story?

This famous case, sometimes known as the “crocodile case” started with the prosecution of former CLCAC CEO Murrandoo Yanner for the taking and killing of two crocodiles. He was charged with contravening the Queensland Fauna Conservation Act which provided that a person could not take fauna without being the holder of a particular licence. Murrandoo argued that he was exercising his rights as a Gangalidda person and according to traditional laws and custom and therefore he did not need to hold a licence.
The case went first to the Magistrate’s Court in Mount Isa, where the magistrate upheld Murrandoo’s defence, however the State government then appealed the decision to the Court of Appeal and this Court upheld the appeal. Murrandoo then took the case to the High Court.
The High Court agreed with Murrandoo in a decision and the charges against Murrandoo had to be dropped. The crocodile case remains a significant precedent in native title case law in Australia and, along with Mabo and Wik, it had much wider ramifications. It followed a series of cases involving the right of Indigenous people to hunt and gather their traditional foods.
What many do not know, however, is that the first case of this kind that came before the High Court was that of Walden v Hensler in In this
