Jane Cowan, From dusk to dawn (Doco/Photojournalism (2019))

It's the dead of night. The middle of a stubbly paddock. Just you and the motor running, the eyes gleaming in the spotlight. Your prey is not your enemy. A magnificent beast, you reckon. But you, like the roos, are struggling to survive. You're a good shot, expert even. And so you take this nocturnal job, earning about $18 per carcass. This is a night in the life of a kangaroo shooter licensed under Victoria's pet food trial. Glenn Cole is one of an estimated 2, 200 commercial roo shooters across Australia. It's a uniquely Australian job description, but one rarely seen up close. This body of work comes with a GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING.
