You are correct Gryphon.Under the current Tasmanian Dog act and its current ammendments a landowner has the right to shoot any dog found on his property.
Might be true for Tasmania and some other states. Not true at all in some states, eg SA. Where the dog must be harassing sheep or stock. I know of one person successfully sued for shooting a dog just crossing a paddock nowhere near stock.
On some other Aust forums the impression is given such state laws eg as Tasmania and maybe Vic have, apply everywhere. Just correcting any such impression on NE.
