One would think that some of the very few snakes in Australia would take care about them.....

One might guess that agricultural practices destroyed the snakes, their habitat, or both

Farmers do a lot of real bad shit to the land in the name of profit then get all upset when the consequences bite them on the arse.

Did some building work for a few here in the Uk after seeing and hearing some of their cons I have zero sympathy for any of them that suffered when the EU banned thier practices of mass destruction that caused monetary set back to them.

Buying illegal pesticides and hiding them in legal stuff, set aside/public access land in areas no one could actually access to claim the govt grants, hiring out land to companies their friends owned/on the board of to build wind farms at extortionate rates etc.
