Hi there in the Outback and greetings from Berlin, Germany. Your purple weed looks alot like Distel latin, carduus. Sure an imported one of our alpine region.

The purple flower prickly plant is called a variegated thistle. And thanks for your videos and what you do. I was a little sad there were no cats tonight though!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

[@kenfowler6287]

Variegated thistle is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Scotch thistle. However, the true Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium) is not known to occur in Western Australia (WA). Variegated thistle is a native of Eurasia and the Mediterranean and was probably introduced to WA in the early days of settlement. It is a declared plant (noxious weed) throughout the State. It is a weed in New Zealand, North and South America, South Africa and Afghanistan as well as in the countries of its native range. It is also a weed in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and Queensland. Spot On!!

They only exist because the Australian government banned guns and made it so difficult for the farmers to obtain a proper gun that hiring this guy with the proper licenses is cheaper. On America there is no such profession because the farmers do it themselves.

[@marcusbelt8061]

That phone recording part + a semi auto would have been unreal - if us Aussies could have Semi autos. Solid content man, I didn’t realise how bad our feral pest issue was until I found your channel a few months ago and I’m Glad I did as I’m currently considering going through the processes of licensing and getting into this line of work, which I probably wouldn’t have delved into at all if I hadn’t have found your channel. Keep poppin pests and educating those who are unaware of how ripe the issues are because we all know the gov doesn’t care about anything that doesn’t fill their pockets.

[@produKtNZ]

Same here actually - I'm looking for an active job after IT for 15 years. As long as I don't have to gut the things, i'll be fine 🥴

[@NPC-fl3gq]

Check the laws in your state. Semi automatic rifles are allowed for animal control officers in some (at least when I checked the law in my state a year or two back).

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Owning a semi auto in Australia is a hugely restricted thing. Even as a professional pest controller the hoops to jump through are immense.

[@leslienordman8718]

Can Australians use semi-automatic pistols? A bolt-action rifle covers your left, while the pistol can cover your right and behind you.

[@drteknical6571]

Many country's citizens are sending more right-side folks into government. You in Australia should pursue that goal in order to get your guns back. Nothing wrong with a bolt-action, but there is no reason to prohibit semi-autos. Fight for your rights!
