NOT YET! FATE OF THE KOALA.
The fate of the harmless native bear, the gentle koala, nu open season of four weeks’ slaughter of which has been decreed by the Queensland Government, has not yet been finally decided.
The Acting Premier (Mr. W. Forgan Smith) in Sydney, and the Acting Deputy Premier (Mr. A. J. Jones) to the deputation of protest in Brisbane on Monday, promised that the Cabinet would review its decision, but at yesterday’s meeting the Ministers, did not settle the matter, though it was considered in much detail. They want more information.
Apparently the Cabinet wa6 divided into two sections-one strongly urging a reprieve; the other emphatically holding that the open season should stand.
Finally, the settlement, of the question was deferred until to-day.
