State forest access
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:01): A cloud remains over the future of our state forests and whether there are still plans by the Labor government to lock up some of our forests and turn them into national parks. Although the Premier says that bush users will be able to access our forests, she is silent on whether or not some of those forests will still be turned over to national parks. The Premier needs to tell bush users that none of our existing public forests will be locked up. The eminent panel working on this is yet to deliver their report or recommendations, but we need strong action from the Premier here.
