Tigers are magnificent creatures - but are gravely endangered by massive reduction of prey and habitat from human development in overpopulated Asia. Australia, by contrast, possesses wastes of scrubland where people are vastly outnumbered by plagues of kangaroos regarded as pests...
ergo: let the Tigers thrive on this plethora of roos behind specially fenced-off boundaries in well-guarded game-parks.
Don't forget, it has considerable recreational potential too. Seems to me like a win-win solution for all concerned...

Not the worst idea I've ever heard .... it does appear to have some merit, but there would have to be a lot of facts taken into account and consideration
As any Aussie knows, introduced species do not have a good track record in Australia - cane toads, rabbits, foxes, etc, there has always been a HUGE impact on the environment, ecosystem and the population of other indigenous species. They won't manage to scoff down even 2% of the roos, so there is no specific problem there.
In saying this, like I said, it's not the worst idea I've ever heard - maybe you should drop CSIRO a line and see what they think the implications of this would be.
One major flaw would probably be that we are currently in the worst drought for many a year and it has a phenomonal grip on the country, so it wouldn't be a terribly good idea from the water point of view. In saying that, you could section off parts on the Northern Territory and capture the wet season every year, harness the water from that and run it off into dams........
....Crikey, listen to me - I'm somewhat caught up in the whole thing!!

They introduced Cane Toads in the 50's - look whats happened now!! Though you do make a good solution in creating game reserves. Unnatural species can wreck havoc on an ecosystem. If you become a Tiger Warden though I'd follow. Love the animals, feel sorry for there diminishing habitat.

definite, there are kangaroos in the wild right here, truly some them. in the country, and in the suburbs this is frequently easy to work out them. I stay close to a significant city, and that i see kangaroos particularly in many situations. I even said a koala run throughout the line once. And definite, they do get hit by technique of vehicles, frequently completely destroying the vehicles in question. Kangaroos are very solid, and may want to augment truly large. My father hit one in the technique the nighttime and it rolled the vehicle. He very nearly died.

The tigers would definatly mess up the local ecosystem,
you cant just go introducing new species into a different region, what if the tigers decide that they dont like Kangaroos and wipe out all the Koala bears.
