Nope, they are a feral pest and shooting them is permitted. I probably wouldn't want to shoot one myself, but as a professional culling shooter it's really just another job. I cull deer, kangaroos, foxes, hares and rabbits on a big cattle farm and have done a lot of of pig shooting in my time. I'm not inclined to shoot brumby's or camels though.
They are controlled all the time, as are the other ferals. To be honest they controlled the koala population on Kangaroo Island here in SA not too long ago. An environmental cull to lessen the burgeoning population. I wouldn't shoot a koala either though.
It's a complex issue here and one many don't understand.
Short answer...It's open season on camels.
Very interesting sir galenkp, thanks for explaining this. I wouldn't want to shoot a camel or koals either. Lots of everything is probably being lost in the fires though, it'll make the culler's job easier perhaps.
