Board Meetings & Attendance


Field & Game Australia is a national voluntary member organisation for conservation, hunting and clay target sports. The organisation continues to focus on the preservation of wetland habitats and duck, quail and pest animal hunting.

Hunter assisted waterfowl research and simulated field clay target shooting within our member branch network offers a whole range conservation, shooting and hunting events each year.Field & Game Australia has been serving Australian hunters, conservationists and clay target members since 1958, and is an organisation that continues to build on that history and experience to address the issues affecting hunting and shooting sports in a practical way.Bill Paterson and Angela Kloppenborg left the board, their service and contribution to FGA have been invaluable over a long period of time and thank them for their contribution and service to the organisation. Daren Stendt and Daniel Young were elected to the board. Darren has been overseas; he has stayed up all night to attend each board meeting and continued to do his duties the next day with no sleep. Jenny Price was seconded onto the board for a 12-month period, all have made positive contributions and we welcome them into their roles on the board.Advocacy and engagement with government continues to be a very important role to defend what we have and work with government to get practical outcomes for the future. On reflection, it is important to remember that we can not take anything for granted. A good example is the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, which will have no shooting sports. This is a staggering decision based on the fact that there are a group of discretionary sports, in which shooting sports are included, that a host city can decide to include or exclude from the Games. New sports include women’s T20 cricket, beach volleyball and para table tennis, they have been included while archery and shooting have been excluded.One of the stated benefits of this change is to increase the number of medal opportunities for women and disabled athletes. But this does not really hold up when one considers the number of women and disabled shooters, who have competed in shooting sports in previous games. In January 2020, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) which is also the entity responsible for the country’s participation in the Commonwealth Games submitted a proposal to the CGF to host Archery and Shooting Championships in Chandigarh, India during January 2022 and include its medals in the final medal table of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. We now have two separate events on two different continents.Field & Game Australia’s National Carnival was expanded to include 100 target competition on Friday, 1st November 2019. This was the first time Field & Game Australia expanded the National Carnival to three days. Bairnsdale did a fantastic job to be the host club for a second year and to the credit to all involved was the largest attendance in the history of the association. Our objective; we want to get more people participating in simulated field clay target shooting and the quality of our major events is key to continue meeting those objectives. The My Club My Score system (MCMS) enabled handicaps to go on online for the first time prior to the event. The rollout of the MCMS system has been completed. Having a system that shift’s away from the laborious manual process of calculating handicap cards, seeing a reduction in nomination queues before target shoots and having a contactless system has proved to be very welcome by all branches. The added benefit has also enabled our branches to meet compliance standards under Covid-19 restrictions.

Chairman’s report

Federal Senator Bridget McKenzie commissioned a report by the Department of Health, on the economic and social impacts of recreational hunting and shooting. The report stated hunters and shooters contribute more than $2.4 billion to the Australian economy annually and is estimated that 19,500 full time jobs benefit from hunting and shooting. The economic footprint of 642,000 recreational hunters and shooters is a positive step forward to make the greater community aware of our activities.Memorable moments for volunteer members advocating on behalf of all members took on the large task of actually calling out the $20 million expenditure bill of the Winton wetland project that was launched over a decade ago in North East Victoria (Formally known as Lake Mokoan). The wetlands were part of the State Game Reserve system and was removed when the complex was decommissioned. It was hailed as the largest wetland restoration project in the southern hemisphere. Even the most casual observer would struggle to equate any notion of success with the past landscape. Lake Mokoan was a failed and wasteful water storage but it remained a very popular recreational hunting destination when it was decommissioned in 2004. It was placed to emerge as an opportunity to rehabilitate the landscape and recreate a natural wonder that would attract community interest, volunteer effort, and most of all, a flood of visitors who would generate significant economic impact to the local economy. Prior to the construction of the lake Mokoan 1971, The Winton wetlands was a series of interconnected redgum and open chain grass wetlands covering more than 3000 ha. It was traditionally hunted and remained a feature of local activity since the decommissioning, surprisingly given the track record of our volunteers in conserving and rehabilitating wetlands, there was no invitation to take part. But with the one that the rehabilitation of this massive area of 1700 hectares including woodland, and its promotion as a natural wetland attraction has been impacted severely by two things; the inability to secure environment water, and exceptionally long dry periods. Decent rainfall would help both the ecology and the economics of Winton wetland, but the real question is whether this test of Eco Tourism model will ever deliver the benefits that were delivered when hunters and fishers enjoyed access to this area. We have the Heart Morass and Lake Connewarre wetlands to look to as models under the WET trust, let alone the many public and

Peter Hawker


private wetland projects in other states that permit hunting and fishing while meeting conservation goals.Thank you to all the dedicated bands of volunteers who continue their great work in combination with Bug Blitz program and school groups to continue spreading our conservation message to the community.Duck hunting faces sustained attack in the Victorian Parliament with the presence of the Animal Justice Party. South Australia and Victoria had restricted game seasons, Tasmania had no restricted game season and the Northern Territory Labor Government declared annual waterfowl season as a sustainable season for the long-term benefit of all, including hunters, residents, tourists and tourism operators.While emotions were high in the leadup to 2020 duck season going ahead, it revealed publicly the cross-party support for regulated game seasons and hunting. Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick entered the Victorian Parliament at the last election with just 2.17% of the primary vote. Mr. Meddick's motion to stop the 2020 duck season saw Field & Game Australia writing to all MPs acknowledging that Mr. Meddick had a right to hold a contrary view, but highlighted the need for a sensible debate based on the facts and data, not the emotion and outlandish statements designed to convey a false impression on the reality of duck hunting. Participating, following the regulations and making good use of birds you have is the best argument you can put forward, along with the conservation, economic, social and health benefits recreational hunting delivers.Final consideration for the 2020 duck season we’re basically state based decisions that were not made in isolation. Large areas of inland Australia gripped by drought so severe that the water and therefore waterfowl were few and far between. We knew that the annual Eastern Australian waterbirds study was only halfway through before the Victorian Weekly Times paper declared a no season!

FGA consistently included information including our November waterfowl count data to the decision makers, which leaned towards outcomes that were conservative. Last year, South Australia looked at the data showing healthier bird populations and habitat than the year before, but still determined to have a shorter season and modified bag limit. This included aligning the opening weekend with Victoria. The reason continental scale view, which wasn’t great, determined their decision.FGA continued sponsoring the National Field Retrieving trial championships that was held in Devonport, Tasmania. Many individuals and clubs contributed to one of the best trophy tables that has been seen at Devonport. FGA will continue to support the national retrieving trial championships, which dates back to 1992.The 2019 politician shoot went ahead. It was a great event enjoyed by all; what is clear from these event days is that the event works in a relaxed environment which gives us a great opportunity spread the message about Field & Game Australia’s work and our passions for what we do.The organisation faced challenges, ongoing drought, bushfires and a global pandemic which did weaken our financial operating result. Through resilience we had a successful member helping members campaign to help our members and branches that lost everything in the bushfires. A big thank you to all the members that helped in the campaign.FGA continues to carry our great work due to our passionate members, professional staff and board members whom I thank for their ongoing support.Do not forget “The wildlife of today is not ours to dispose of as we please. We have it in trust and must account for it to those who come after.” — King George VI

Dean O’Hara

CEO reportWhat a difference a year makes. When you get the opportunity to reflect on the past 12 months there is a lot to recognise and celebrate across all three of the Field & Game Australia’s (FGA) fundamental pillars.

FGA has come a long way in the past year, and the future is exciting. I am looking forward to the next 12 months and navigating a very challenging but rewarding pathway.It is a privilege to be the Chief Executive Officer of FGA. The role is far more than a job or title, it allows the custodian to make a real difference for a group of passionate and invested Australians, you our members. To be true to ensure that “The wildlife of today is not ours to dispose of as we please. We have it in trust. We must account for it to those who come after.” – King George VI.It is fair to say that the past 6 months has been challenging for all of us with the COVID19 pandemic. We saw all clay target events cancelled, we saw the Victorian Duck Season further impacted, and we saw many Australians lose their life to his horrible virus that does not discriminate.Before we get to celebrate some of the exciting projects that we have delivered I also wanted to also recognise some of the ‘behind the scenes’ work and activities that have been delivered. These may not be exciting, but these business


activities make a real difference and allows FGA to function as a business.Financially we have seen a reduction in our income, however we have already realised a 10% cost saving within the business. We have seen FGA successful in obtaining grants from government and seen the organisation start to develop revenue streams not restricted to membership alone.For FGA to grow and be more self-reliant in times such as we have seen in 2020, we must ensure financial sustainability and security. In support of this objective we have also improved our contract management to control costs, our merchandise sales have been the best year on record, we have delivered long term sponsorship partnerships, and a continued strong financial governance to account for expenditure.To support delivery of our projects we have implemented new project management methodology and templates, implemented a Project Review and Approval process within the Board structure. Introduced Active Board Tasking and issues management which is transparent and provides the Board with regular updates.Another first saw the organisation develop and deliver employee training and development for staff and a Board development and induction program. We have updated the Board Charter, developed a Position Description for Board Members, and conducted a Board Skills Audit.We have been very active with governments, advocating strongly in South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, and Victoria. We acknowledge the continued statements of support from the Labor Party, Liberal Party, Nationals Party and the various independents across all States and Territories and at the federal level. The challenges we face are not getting smaller. Those that oppose our activities are becoming more structured and their rhetoric more persistent.As like last year I would like to highlight the achievements delivered in each of our three pillars. FGA was born from duck hunting. Duck hunting is in our DNA and this past year has seen us successfully advocate for a duck season in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. This year the arguments by those that oppose our passion were considerable, constant, organised and overwhelming. We needed to counter those arguments with the facts and data. The position we took was defendable and backed by science. Our success can be measured across different indicators but one that needs to be highlighted is that we could not be attacked for our position because we had the facts to stand our arguments.We never saw any comments from organisations opposed to duck hunting. Why? Because they knew we had done our homework and that the science backed our position. The 2020 season was another testing one with wetland closures, modified season length and bag limits along with the impacts from COVID19, but again hunter behavior was, as expected, exemplary.This year has seen our members having the opportunity to also hunt a variety of other species such as deer, pheasant, quail, and goose. We have seen, and it has been recognised, that members have respected the rules and demonstrated that sustainable and ethical hunting are principles we not only respect, but we truly believe in and support.We will continue to ensure the facts and data support our position. That we advocate our position that duck hunting is sustainable. We saw in South Australia that there was no quail season and we have argued that more research needs to be undertaken to understand quail, their breeding habits along with their migratory tracts.

Within our Conservation pillar we continue to deliver new and exciting outcomes at the Heart Morass and Connawarre. It would be remiss of me not to mention our custodian and genuine legend Gary ‘Pud’ Howard and the huge amount of work that he and his team of volunteers put into the Heart Morass. I always enjoy visiting the Heart and spending time with Gary and seeing the work of our members. Thank you to all that continue to attend working bees or planting events, manage weeds and do whatever is needed to ensure the Heart continues to transform.We announced our strategic partnership with Beretta last year. The partnership has further grown in the past 12 months and Beretta has now decided to work with FGA to deliver Conservation projects which we will announce soon. The first of those projects will be at the Connewarre Wetland Centre where our Geelong FGA team invest huge amount of their time and effort.We have also completed the Willowmavin Feasibility Study. The study has identified the possibilities for our property in Kilmore, Victoria. I encourage you all to take the time to read the study that can be found on our website.Our Northern Territory branch has been very active at again at Harrison Dam and Lambells Lagoon with their weed and cleanup projects. It was great to spend time with Jim Godden and look around Lovedays Wetland in South Australia and see the projects delivered by FGA members. We have continued to work closely with the Conservation & Hunting Alliance of South Australia (CHASA) to identify collaboration projects for the future.Our clay target pillar continues to grow with more people than ever before participating in Australia Simulated Field. Pre-COVID FGA branches were delivering over 50 shoot days each month. FGA is still committed to developing pathways for more people to take up clay target shooting. We have been working with the federal government with regards to Sport 2030 and demonstrating that FGA is committed to providing all Australian’s the opportunity to participate. ASF allows true competition parity for everyone and that is something we need to promote far and wide. Our sport provides opportunity for all ages, all genders, able and non-abled bodied people to get out and be a part of a great sport.The Field & Game Australia, Beretta Australia National Carnival held in Bairnsdale in 2019 saw nearly 600 members compete across 3 days. The first day saw a standalone English Sporting Pairs 100 target event won by John Younger. The two-day National Carnival was fantastic with targets set by Peter Hall. Congratulations to our National Champions for 2019 Chris Brown, Renae Birgan, Xavier Russell, Alex Calleja and Eddie Magee.We continue to build on respected and trusted relationships with all sides of politics and all levels of governments across all jurisdictions. These relationships allow FGA to advocate directly with those that make decisions that impact our activities. We have the social license and it is critical that we keep hold of that responsibility. With that social license we can affect change, we can promote our heritage, our passion, and our traditions.FGA is absolutely committed to telling our story. In promoting ethical and sustainable duck hunting, to ensure the wetlands of today are in better health for the generations that come after us. The support of members will ensure that we can continue our story. The future is exciting and full of new opportunities and I look forward to sharing that future with you all.

Dean O’HaraCEO


The audited 2020 FGA financial accounts are published in detail in the annual report for members’ information. This report is not audited but is to provide some commentary and focus on the key information contained in the statutory reports.

The 2019- 2020 year has been a year of some successes and much adversity. The achievements include successful grant applications for financial assistance with the Willowmavin feasibility study and the shed development. In November FGA ran a very successful National Carnival.The 2020 year has however produced a number of challenges which have had a financial impact on your Association. Problems with a change to emailed membership renewals saw a delay in renewal notification to members. The late announcement of a 2020 highly modified duck season then the Covid-19 impact on branch shoots, hunting activities and most importantly on FGA members’ livelihoods and everyday lives has impacted the associations’ financials.

Trading resultsThe overall trading result for the year was a loss of $35,020. This was after bringing to account income from Covid-19 Assistance of $99,500 and grants relating to the Willowmavin feasibility study and capital works of $77,516. Without this income the loss from normal operations for the year would have been $212,036.

MembershipThe biggest contributor to the overall loss was a $224,947 reduction in membership renewal income from $1,566,307 to $1,331,360.Overall membership at 30th June 2020 was 14,383. This is down by approximately 2,500 members. On a positive note the renewals received in July and August 2020 was $74,000 higher than last year and to date membership has recovered by an additional 1,034 renewals taking current membership to 15,417.

National CarnivalThe 2019 carnival was a participation success with a gross income of $81,858. Costs were $82,802 leaving a loss of $944.Scoring SystemDue to the decision at the 2019 AGM/Council planned cost recovery for the MyClub MyScores system did not occur. This resulted in a cost to the Association of $36,125.

Bank accountsCash held in bank accounts at 30th June was $601,393 less credit card expenses due of $6,386 leaving a cash balance of $595,007. Last year this was $789,812 a reduction of $194,805. Members are to be reminded that the money in bank accounts at 30th June each year is to be utilised to fund the organisation for nine months with only small amounts of membership income being received during those months.

Covid-19 GrantsThe Association has been successful in applying for Covid-19 related grants totalling $99,500 to 30th June. These were Commonwealth Federal assistance for Job Keeper $27,000, and

$62,500 as Cash Flow Stimulus. A further $10,000 was received from the Victorian State Government.Subsequently the association has applied for assistance under the State of Victoria’s Community Sports Sector Covid-19 Short Term Survival Grant. The application was successful and FGA will receive up to $224,798 in 3 instalments from 1st September to 31st December 2020 to assist with operating costs.

The FutureAll expenditure is being reviewed with the potential for cost cutting.During 2019-20 vehicles were changed to reduce debt and payments.The communications platform is currently under review and tenders invited.Membership renewal and growth are essential for the organisation and have to be the key focus for the future.Covid-19 has had a large impact on 2020. When branches can return to regular clay target shoots there will be opportunities to regain lapsed members and to promote the association on a local and national level. Activities such as come and try days, ladies days, school education days and novelty shoots will all be possible. It is vital for FGA and Branches to work together to recover and build memberships.While members have been in lockdown the groups opposed to your legal activities of shooting and hunting have been planning their campaigns. When the Covid-19 lockdown started in Victoria the State Government made an outrageous move to ban ammunition and firearm sales. FGA has successfully fought this. Recently the Police Licencing Department announced that anyone breaching lockdown and travel restrictions who was a lawful firearm owner could lose their licence. FGA has fought this. Your fight goes on and FGA continues to fight on your behalf. Even though you can’t shoot now your membership is essential if you want to own a firearm, hunt or shoot clays in the future.

FIELD AND GAME AUSTRALIA INCABN: 79 042 436 123INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FIELD AND GAME AUSTRALIA INCOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the committee.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the committee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the association to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

WET Trust Report 2020

David Hawker AOChairman

Max Downes, the Victorian Government Superintendent of Game Management from 1953 -1968 says it took six years to convince government that the real risk to game bird populations was the loss of habitat and climate, not recreational hunting.

From this work came the State Game Management program and State Wildlife Reserves funded by licence fees on hunters. This ground-breaking work has been a major motivation for the continuing wetland conservation work by Field & Game members, in a voluntary capacity.The Wetlands Environmental Taskforce (WET) Trust was formed in 2002 as an important way of helping acquire, rehabilitate and maintain some of the best wetlands in Victoria. Donations to the Trust are tax deductible.With considerable help from the Hugh Williamson Foundation Trust the Heart Morass wetland near Sale was purchased. Under the guidance of the Foundation’s Chairperson Martin Carlson the brilliant BugBlitz Education Program continues for school students at both the Heart Morass and at the Connewarre Wetland Centre near Geelong.The decision by the Field and Game Board to appoint Glenn Falla as Hunting Conservation Manager is another big and welcome step in furthering the role hunters play in improving our environment.The other exciting issue is the Business Plan being developed by the Board. It will play a major role in gaining wider community support for the role hunters play in the community and with conservation.

Heart MorassLife member Gary Howard continues to devote considerable time and effort to improvements at the Heart Morass. Tree planting continues, track maintenance and upgrades are occurring and not only is the Heart full, but water quality continues to improve. He observes there are a lot of birds breeding. The transformation of the area in just 14 years is truly remarkable.Interestingly with the Covid restrictions there are more walkers and cyclists travelling into the Heart Morass. Frequently Gary receives positive comments from them as they discover the great work that has been done by locals to create such a wonderful wetland.Matt Bowler, Team Leader from the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority has worked hard to obtain additional funding from the State government’s Gippsland Lakes Community Grants, for upgrading structures adjacent for the Latrobe river, for the benefit of managing flows into the heart MorassAt the time of writing, the PFAS contamination from the Sale RAAF Base runoff is unresolved. The major concern that remains is by how much the contamination has devalued the WET Trust’s major asset.

It is hoped the Department of Defence to make an announcement shortly on its response.

ConnewarreGeelong F&G President Trent Leen is pleased to report that members have nearly completed the commercial kitchen at the Connewarre Wetland Centre, which will allow its use for functions.The feature wetland is full and duck trapping is happening now. This is part of the research on Avian Flu being undertaken by Prof. Marcel Klaassen, an Ecologist with keen interest in bird migration and disease, from Deakin University at Geelong.A new nesting box is being trialled at the feature wetland. with very encouraging results.

BugblitzAfter the Covid holdup it is hoped to resume the BugBlitz program for local schools in Term 4.Program Director Dr John Caldow has taken the opportunity to produce some brilliant online delivery services to support schools with four eBooks. Within 8 hours of their release more than 30 schools had requested copies!A BugBlitz mobile laboratory is hoped to be ready for the new year.Schools in both the Sale area and Geelong will continue to be involved in this great program, strongly supported by the Williamson Foundation.Likewise, three major sign stations are planned for the Heart Morass. These will aid a planned Heart Morass Restoration Project Eco Tour. Field & Game’s involvement will be noted for both.

ConclusionThe foresight of Field & Game in supporting Max Downes and his Hunting Archive, and purchasing the Heart Morass are both inspirations for the future of Conservation linked to Hunting. The success of BugBlitz exceeds all expectations and will help ensure many of the next generation understands this connection.

FIELD AND GAME AUSTRALIA INC AS TRUSTEE FOR WETLANDS ENVIRONMENTAL TASKFORCE TRUST ABN; 42150 070 738INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FIELD AND GAME AUSTRALIA INC AS TRUSTEE FOR WETLANDS ENVIRONMENTAL TASKFORCE TRUSTAuditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, Whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional Judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material miss1atement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, Intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of Internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registered Entity’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the registered entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report However, future events or conditions may cause the registered entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and liming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.


Field & Game Australia Awards

NT Field & Game President Stephen Lees accepts the Member Services award on behalf of winner Andrew Brock. NT also picked up the Pest & Vermin Control and Media awards.

Stephen Lees and Kady Hymon from Northern territory Field & Game were thrilled with a close second place in the Blue Wing Trophy. Bill Paterson is pictured presenting the award.

Deb Meester and John Hirt accept the Blue Wing Troph y from Field & Game Australia Chairman Bill Paterson

Field & Game Australia’s Sale branch has won the Blue Wing Trophy Award for its conservation efforts in 2019.

Only just defeating the Northern Territory branch, Sale president John Hirt said it could not have been done without the hard work of his members.“The contribution of all members, friends, families, and other individuals and organisations is equally critical to ensuring the ongoing success of our conservation endeavours,” he said. But Mr Hirt said Sale’s commitment to conservation could not be maintained by member commitment alone.“Our monthly clay target shooting program is our financial engine,” he said. “It generates much needed funds used to undertake our conservation activities.”Mr Hirt attributed Sale’s success to its commitment to wetland and waterfowl conservation activities – everything from weed control to planting trees and maintaining nesting boxes.“Every effort is made in planning and executing present and future conservation activities to involve members, friends and families,” Mr Hirt said. “It may appear a bit tribal, but it works for us and I believe, it is a model with universal applicability.“(But) clearly what works for Sale will not necessarily work for other branches.”Northern Territory branch president Stephen Lees said his branch was successful because of its message – promoting ethical hunting. “We always push ourselves in a positive light – a positive ethical hunting group,” he said. “Our conservation work plays a big part in it. “Hunting is a part of our sport but it’s only 25 per cent of what we do. The rest is conservation.“Conservation is extremely important to me and the club.”Mr Lees said every ethical hunter should know it is important to look after the game and environment to maintain a sustainable population.“We have worked hard to develop a relationship with the government as well as parks and wildlife to show that we as an organisation are committed to the successful management of wetlands throughout the Northern Territory and to be the go to organisation for the development of wetlands and water fowl management,” he said.The Blue Wing Trophy is awarded annually. Details about the 2020 application will be released later this year.

AWARDS PRESENTEDBlue Wing TrophyThis trophy is for the branches for all their conservation work throughout the year.1st prize of $1000, Sale Field & Game.2nd prize of $600 is to be presented to Northern Territory Field & Game.

Waterfowl Counts

If it’s not one thing it’s another.

The Northern Territory Goose and duck season was reasonable despite the dry conditions and leading into January 2020, there was hope that a reasonable season in Victoria and South Australia.

FGA put forward a defendable, well-reasoned submission and provided supportive data to back our case for a Victorian Season. However, on the back of the horrific fires encountered in Victoria and less than perfect weather conditions bo th South Australia and Victoria were handed heavily modified seasons and in South Australia no quail season at all. The delivery of the season announcement was late, the later starting times remained and in the end due to the Covid-19 pandemic there was little opportunity to hunt until the last weeks.

Tasmania arguably had the best opportunity for waterfowl hunting.

Developments in 2019 – 2020 included:

• Following the Pegasus report $6 million in funding was allocated to the Game Management Authority, a 30% increase in staff.

• A failed bid by the Animal Justice Party to have the Victorian Duck Season banned.

• Sustainable Hunting Action Plan KPI’s mostly met.

• The 2017 Australasian Shoveler Report was finally made public by the GMA in 2019, without the required scientific data required they were left off the huntable list yet again.

• A bid to reintroduce FGA members assisting pest control at Winton Wetlands and assisting a plan to return the Wetland to its former glory was rejected.

• An Adaptable Harvest Management model is yet to be finalized despite progress being made by the expert panel.

Chris Brown claimed his first National title for 15 years with a superb display of skill over the two days.

Chris only missed four targets as he fought a ding-dong battle with close mates Blake Nankervis and Anthony Panetta.“Everything gelled and I just kept backing myself to get it done,” Chris said.Chris said he was also challenged the whole way by Peter Hall’s targets.“You see high scores and could be forgiven for thinking that the targets must have been a bit easy, but hell no, there were massive challenges out there, it was just that the targets were so well presented you had the best chance to shoot them.” he said.“All the way around the ground you could just see the thought and hard work that had gone into the set-up; at the end of the day we are all here to shoot and be entertained and that’s what we got.”Chris said his final score was higher than he thought was achievable, yet he only won by the narrowest of margins.“If you offered me a free score of 146 on Saturday morning, I wouldn’t have got out of the car,” he said.“Blake and Anthony have both shot 100 birds without a miss, and in the last round I knew I had to bring it home. I shot 25, and as it turned out, I needed it.”For the first time the Clay & Hunt 100 target event was held on the Friday prior to the Carnival which has hugely successful and enjoyed by competitors.John Younger shot a spectacular 98/100 to win the High Gun but it was elite junior Mark Du Rose who claimed a new $6500 Zoli Kronos shotgun by winning the handicap Super Shoot Off.
