But I’ve gotten so many here so fast and bots have shown up so I can’t just go down the list and follow everyone without vetting.

This is insidious. The headline starts with blaming wildlife. The actual article makes it clear that is, at best, 25% of the overspend. And even that is disputed. So an accurate headline would highlight incompetence and poor planning.

That’s what the QLD laws have been used for so far, leaving kids in cars (which can kill them, so fair). But it doesn’t define what ‘abandonment‘ is so any scenario where under-12’s are wandering around seems fair game.

I don't know what it's like in other states but in QLD we have some very ambiguous laws around leaving children 'unattended' when they're less than 12. It's not the intent but it sure seems like cops could nab you for letting your kids wander down to the park if they wanted to.
