OK, now this whole ordeal is TOTALLY misleading. I've been to Fraser Island, and due to the large amounts of tourists that are constantly feeding these dogs they are extremely tame. I actually had one drinking out of a water bottle while we were waiting for the ferry to get back to the mainland. They are more of a nuisance, as they will walk right up to you and try to swipe your lunch or your shoes to chew on.
Just because a dingo was scavenging for food in a hotel room does not mean it was going to go for the baby on the bed. In my experience, they are much more willing to pick up a camera case and run off with it than they are to go after small children.
It was a nice touch showing a dingo "baring its teeth" in the article as well........all ferocious looking when in actual fact the thing is probably yawning.
