Aussie's tackle the cane toad onslaught with a sausage!

Chantelle and Alex interview ecologist Chris Jackson. The cane toad onslaught reached the WA Kimberley two years ago - but researchers were just ahead. Trialling a crazy scheme to train quolls that cane toads were NOT a tasty snack they dropped 10,000 nausea-inducing cane toad sausages...did it work?!

Ecologist Chris Jackson shares the results two years in.
