Massive rabbit plague to invade south-eastern Australia.

Australian Capital Territory Chief Minister Jon Stanhope is warning agriculture ministers around the country of an impending rabbit plague in south-eastern Australia.
Prolonged wet spring conditions were likely to increase rabbit numbers dramatically, he said.
The ACT in 2010 reported its wettest year in a decade, following a long-running drought.
Mr Stanhope will raise the issue at a meeting of Australian agriculture ministers today.
He also has written to Federal Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig and his NSW counterpart Steve Whan.
"If left unchecked a rabbit plague could have severe impacts for local farmers and the Territory's native ecosystems," Mr Stanhope said in a statement.
The ACT Government has committed $500,000 to fund to rabbit control up to 2012.
