Lim (1997) has recently presented a critique of aspects of the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act (TSCA), and in particular of the role of the Scientific Committee established by the Act.

The question as to whom should the authority to determine listing and delisting of species, populations, ecological communities and key threatening processes that affects the state's wildlife (flora and fauna) be delegated, for what purpose and what priority we should place them in relation to all of society's needs, is a fundamental and an important one. The authority for setting up the Scientific Committee of the Threatened Species Conservation Act (New South Wales) 1995 is examined. Its functions and the individuals that make up this Committee, who they represent and the determinations this Committee has reached so far are discussed. The implications for the listing of species, populations and ecological communities with some of the more serious problems such listings have caused are outlined with particular reference to the application of the 8-Point Test under s 5A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. These practical difficulties aside, the fundamental question still remains; Can the New South Wales State Parliament delegate its legislative powers for peace, welfare and good government, to a lower authority that is not directly elected by the people, accountable to no one and that has no propriety interest in the subject matter? Thus a question of Constitutional validity of all or part of the TSC Act arises.

Species Being

Yellow-footed Rock-wallabies (YFRW) Petrogale xanthopus have declined in numbers since European settlement from past hunting for skins, habitat disturbance and predation and competition with feral animals (Gordon et al. 1978, 1993; Copley 1983; Henzell 1990). This has led to the species being classed as potentially vulnerable to extinction in Australia (Kennedy 1992), and endangered in New South Wales (Schedule 1, Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995).

Management And Conservation

A symposium on the dingo (Canis lupus dingo) was held in Sydney in May 1999 to discuss issues surrounding the conflicting views of the dingo: seen both as a potentially threatened species, and as a species that needs to be controlled because of its predation on livestock. The Symposium was particularly relevant to New South Wales (NSW) because of consideration being given to place the dingo on the schedule of NSW vulnerable species, under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The potential for conflict was exacerbated by concurrent legislative changes in NSW (Rural Lands Protection Act 1998) requiring the Crown to control pest animals declared under the Act. Despite the obvious focus on the NSW situation, many of the issues discussed have wider relevance to the management and conservation of dingoes across Australia.
