Rabbits are nonreportable. If one was to have one as a pet, and take it to the vet, the vet does not legally have to report it. Ferrets are reportable, for example.
Hey poindexter, when was the last time an animal was deliberately introduced into Australia?
Probably cases of border patrol confiscating a smuggled animal occasionally. Detection methods seem to be doing a good job, but I haven’t done a deep dive. Invasive species website says 2017, when a single toad was found in a cargo container in Perth.
