Use it or lose it

Look on the bright side Gramps, more National Parks means more jobs in the various park authorities across Oz. Maybe we could score a park ranger job and get paid to drive around in them all day counting gum trees........(;-))

How is this a bad thing? Less logging and more National Parks? Unless of course they close off the National Parks to any form of access.

It will no doubt contribute to bigger and more fierce bush fires if they are managed anything like Victoria`s NP`s.

G'day Gramps,

It seems to be a State trend in QLD also. Convert large parcels of land to NP's and kick out lessees in some cases all in the name of the greater good. Unfortunately whilst it looks good on the surface they realise later that they don't actually have the resources to manage the additional responsibilities. I can only assume this will mean less access as they can't guarantee safety and facilities (and we don't want them to make it unsafe do we?). So I'm in agreement with your conclusion!

The greenies will be happy because it is their objective to keep it untouched. Must be an election year and they need some green preferences - I know very cynical of me!

Kind regards
