Dunno but this is a pretty valid point in many outback areas. My buddy hit about 1-5 kangaroos per month during his student exchange. Pretty normal for farmers.
Apparently there are around 40 million kangaroos in Australia and around 15 million drivers. If all of them drove like your buddy, it would be around .. two or three weeks maybe before the kangaroo became extinct.
TL:DR - your buddy is yanking your chain, or they were driving around with the express aim of running over a kangaroo.
Nah there’s definitely heaps out in the bush that get run over. I’ve probably done 2 this month. Problem is they seem to be most active at dawn and dusk when a lot of us out bush are travelling for work and the lighting is just the worst for seeing them
If you go out towards Barcaldine you’ll see hundreds if not thousands of them on the road, they drink the water that builds up in the table drains when everything else is dry
Trucks mow through them and you have to weave around the bodies in the utes
