Great forest national park
Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (09:57): On the weekend, on Sunday, I went out to Drouin for the rally against the great forest national park. About a thousand people turned up, which showed the depth of concern about this potential national park. It was interesting that I heard a lot of people were using it, but I also heard on the news that night about one political party saying that it will open up the areas for people to go into. Actually it is quite the opposite. Right now, as a state forest, you can go into these places with dogs, you can go into places where you do not need a permit to camp – you can do all sorts of things. If it becomes a national park, it will actually get harder. So we should all say no to the great forest national park.
