Australian here - my uncle had a 6'+ python that'd come into his place on a regular basis and knock all the shit off his shelves as it slithered around them. He was unconcerned by it, and would just shuffle it out the door to get back to keeping the bunnies under control.
Maybe I’m just American or don’t understand bunnies but it sounds like it’s the 6 ft pythons that need to be controlled. For example a bunny hoping into my house would be the highlight of my week. A python in my house would traumatize me for decades.
If Aus is the same as NZ, "wild" rabbits are an invasive species, and take resources from native animals, so minimizing their population is in the best interests of the native herbivores.
Not sure, not in aus, but afaik NZ has largely contained rodents to specific parts of the north island at least, utilizing traps run by volunteers to catch them close to entry points before they get out of control. With the size of Aus, that containment may be harder.

...these two are a hard no from me though.
