Feds could order Qld croc cull

Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg says he could approve a croc cull in Queensland.

Three far north Queensland councils have urged the state government to do more to protect people, after a teen was mauled and a fisherman was killed in recent attacks.

Mr Frydenberg says he has the power to order a cull under federal laws, telling The Courier-Mail: "In my book human life comes first ... such action properly considered and carried out would have my full support."
