Why was the dung beetle introduced to Australia?
It was necessary to introduce dung beetles to Australia because the native dung beetles we already had, would only decompose Australian animal poo eg: kangaroo poo. But the introduced dung beetles could decay a wide variety of poo and therefore led us to consider, more of these dung beetles means less waste we would have lying around, and we were correct.

Were cane toads brought into Australia to eat sugar cane?
No. Cane toads were brought into Australia to eat the cane beetles devastating the sugar cane crops in northeastern Australia. The toads were an experiment, imported into the country by the Australian Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations to eat cane beetles, specifically, Greyback and French's Cane Beetles. These native beetles ate grass roots, bored into the roots of sugar cane crops and caused the plants to die and go brown. Using poison controls had been unsuccessful, so it was hoped cane toads would prove to be an effective biological control on the beetles.
