The 2 dogs a house rule is a local govt bilaw not a Vic state law, this is not just a Victoria thing a mate of mine used to live on Bribie island nth of Brisbane and they had a 1 dog per house rule.
I sure would not like 10 hounds in the house next door, the smell and the noise.
While I don't agree with the tightening of any gun/hunting laws the hound hunters have a well deserved bad reputation.
There are crews out there that have no regard for the animals they hunt or private property.
I have been told of a lone dogger with 20 plus hounds that lets the dogs kill the deer and just likes to film them do it.
A friends family property has had in the past hound teams start dogs on the road adjoining the property where the deer tracks went over the fence, this is deliberately running hounds on private property without permission.
another friend was in a hound crew untill he got sick of the kill all deer attitude one weekend they killed 11 deer and only took the backstraps and 1 leg from 1 of the 11 killed the rest were left to rot.
The only thing we have to thank hound hunters for is the spread of sambar, even this may not be correct. The theory is the dogs chase them further afield hence increasing the invasion rate.

As fore trusting the government - not since they stated gun registration would not be used to confiscate firearms that was 1986 I think (Vic Govt).

Trolls and Govts are the same LPOS
