It does sound like you have an assignment to do? For everything listed above, Google would be your friend. Just as an example, LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU.

With these 4, go through this forum as it has lots of info.

Like this thread, absolutely full of info, many many PDF's.

THE BEST WAY TO KILL A TOAD
Most Australians don’t like toads, and some really hate them. Other people believe that the toads themselves aren’t really to blame for being in the wrong place (Australia) – after all, they didn’t ask to be brought here! We feel this way – so that although cane toads don’t belong in Australia, and their numbers should be reduced as much as possible, it’s also important to be sure that toads are killed humanely.

There are lots of ways to kill toads, and some are really brutal.

To kill a toad humanely, the easiest approach is to pick the animal up (gloves are a good idea, to ensure you don’t get exposed to the toad’s poison!) and put it in a plastic bag, then pop the bag into the fridge. After a few hours the toad will be pretty much asleep (although still very much alive) and you can pop the bag into the freezer. Leave it there for a long time – preferably a few days – because there are lots of stories about apparently-frozen toads coming back to life if they haven’t spent long enough in the freezer!

My reading indicates your native meat ant does a great job of controlling cane toads as they emerge from the waters. (canetoadsinoz.com) And encouraging more meat ants with the right kind of trees (uncertain which this is) could help control the spreading populations. And at least one attempt has been made to eat the toad legs - and found quite tasty. Perhaps ....
