Mount Arapiles rock climbing
Emma KEALY (Lowan) (11:08): In another masterclass of how to stuff up all the good things in our lives and cause division, with Victorians paying the price, Premier Allan, Minister Dimopoulos and Minister Hutchins have completely botched the handling of the consultation and negotiations around Mount Arapiles Dyurrite, and it can barely be believed. Thousands of rock climbers and outdoor enthusiasts who live locally, in Melbourne or around the world are outraged that the best climbs in Victoria will be closed, including what was once the hardest rated climb in the world, Punks in the Gym, which put Natimuk and Mount Arapiles on the map. Only Labor could stuff something up where even the Aboriginal people are upset.
