These marginal lands would be better off left as grazing country.

From what I've read a lot of Australia seems to be over-grazed.

Yes because we graze imported ruminants - I am suggesting we try and make our native animals a viable grazing option.

Kangaroo is very tasty and low in fat. Selective breeding like we have done with cattle and sheep could make them commercially viable rather than be seen as a pest.
