The Case
Against 1080
1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) is a systemic poison used across Australia for so-called pest management. The scientific and ethical case against it is clear — but government action requires public pressure.
No known antidote. 1080 is a colourless, tasteless and odourless toxin. There is no treatment for poisoning — it causes a prolonged and agonising death in affected animals.
Banned nearly everywhere else in the world. Australia remains one of the few countries still using 1080 at scale. It has been prohibited in most jurisdictions due to its indiscriminate and inhumane nature.
Kills native wildlife. 1080 is indiscriminate — it kills any animal that ingests it, including native species such as quolls, wombats, echidnas, and birds of prey that consume contaminated carcasses.
Kills companion animals. Dogs are particularly sensitive to 1080. Bait programs regularly kill pets whose owners are unaware of nearby poison operations.

Every Signature Builds the Case
Petition numbers send a direct signal to regulators and politicians. The APVMA review petition demands the chemical regulator urgently, thoroughly, and transparently reconsider 1080's approval in all states and territories.
By submitting a victim impact statement, you help the Coalition build a class action case before the government who allows this deadly substance to be used.
