#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".

The parent company, #TerraFirma, says it will meet with "relevant environmental groups" when leaders visit #Australia later this year.

"As the owner of #CPC, we were not aware of the application for a licence to cull birds at Newcastle Waters," the company said in its post.

"We have made clear to CPC leadership that this is #CompletelyUnacceptable.

"We have instructed the Newcastle Waters leadership team, and CPC senior management to cease any plans for culling immediately.
