#Cull of 20,000 #NativeBirds at #NewcastleWaters #CattleStation will not go ahead after parent company intervened.

In a social media post, the parent company of #ConsolidatedPastoralCompany, which operates the station, said it was unaware of the licence and instructed staff to cease any culling plans "immediately".
