Holding aloft a huge fish that he claimed was “electrocuted”, Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce took to Facebook on June 6 to talk about carp.
Joyce said the carp “just wreck” Murray cod and yellow belly found in Australian waterways and introduced a man known as the “carpinator”, a researcher who will oversee a program to decrease the amount of carp.
The CSIRO, working with the Australian Government, have planned to introduce a carp-specific herpes strain for a cull of the species.
