Meet John …John Auer.
John is a farmer from Tubbut in Vic, near the NSW border. We can’t show you John’s face …oh hang on a sec we can.
When John’s not busy farming he’s plotting to kill Australia’s native wildlife, especially eagles.
You see John is the “mastermind” behind the deaths of at least 406 Wedge-tailed eagles over the period 2016-18. John, coached his farm hand, Murray Silvester, on how to poison the majestic raptors.
And
Farm worker jailed for 14 days and fined for poisoning 406 wedge-tailed eagles
– End of Insert –
Before John was plotting a species extinction on and around his farm he was also a long time director and part owner of a company called Jam Land.
Money for Jam Land: enviro’ review not as independent as it’s Craik’ed up to be?
You may have heard of it.
He left the company in July 2016, and his directorship was assumed by Richard Taylor (Angus’ brother).
The Auers shareholding was bought by the respective family companies of Angus Taylor, Richard Taylor, Duncan Taylor and Charlie Taylor and Tony Reid on 18 May 2017.
Of course Jam Land have been accused of poisoning of a different kind, spraying protected native temperate grasslands. That case is ongoing and ongoing …and ongoing.
It begs the question of how well the Taylors knew Auer?
It turns out Auer and Richard Taylor go back to at least 2008 with their involvement in Monaro Farming Systems (MFS)
Ironically, the grant was for implementing new and innovative tools and farm practices.
And of course they have a Minister who is a part-owner and sought to intervene in the matter.
The reasons for the Auers getting out of Jam Land are unclear.
What is clear, however, is that the farming practices of this bunch of quiet Australians, could not be deemed best practice.
It’s a pity that Wendy Craik, who headed up a review, into the matter proffered
So on a day when the the Guardian announces the Bird of the Year …spare a thought for the Wedge-tailed Eagle which finished sixth.

John Auer ph 0448580273. Tell the bastard himself what feel about his evilness
No sign of any charges against Auer under the Wildlife Act. What strings have been pulled? Only charges so far were for the misuse of chemicals and a token penalty applied. I would love to know whether Auer actually does any of the community service or the privileged mates network find a friendly not for profit (church?) to host the service and tick the boxes on the paperwork.
