Thread: Vic election in November

To all of us in Vic. The state election is coming up soon. I hope you all remember that in order to keep a 4wd that is able to be used as a 4wd you must put the Greens last in any preferences. There is an interesting thread about this on OuterLimits as well. Below is a list of the Greens latest demands. Spread the word to family, friends, workmates.

Ian

The following is an extract from the Victorian Greens new forest policy.
More parks, reserves etc. A clear demonstration that they are insatiable. We simply cannot let them gain any power in the November election or allow them to influence the policies of the major parties.

New Reserves
New reserves on public land would include the following:
· All areas of cool temperate rainforest
· Goolengook and Yalmy forests added to Errinundra and Snowy National Parks with effective and
Substantial corridors linking existing parks and reserves in East Gippsland
- from coastal to alpine
Regions.
· A new national park covering the Wombat forest and catchments of the Coliban, Campaspe, Lerderderg
And Loddon Rivers.
· The Strzelecki Ranges 'Cores and Links proposal' (on public "privately leased" land) which includes
Gunya Gunya, Jack River, College Creek and Upper Merriman Creek and the link between the cores
And the Tarra-Bulga National Park, and the creation of a new National Park in the Strzelecki Ranges.
· Central Highlands forests – the Upper Bunyip and the transect between the Yarra Ranges and Eildon
National Parks, including Federation Range, Torbreck Range, Royston Range and the Blue Range.
· The Baw Baw Plateau and surrounds.
· Valuable areas within the Tambo forests.
· The Cobboboonee Forest added to the Lower Glenelg National Park in far South West Victoria, and the
Creation of threatened species habitat and landscape link to the Little Desert National Park.
· The Wellsford Forest added to the Greater Bendigo National Park.
· The remaining State Forest in the headwaters of the Aire River, and the remainder of the Aire State
Forest added to the Great Otway National Park.

Yeah great

Add state forests (they are called that coz they were never worthy of being declared Nat Parks - don't have the same conservation value...often are looged areas that no longer resemble genuine indigenous flora anyway) to the Nat Parks eh ? Restrict access eh ?

But isn't it a great idea to lock all these area up so that:
No regular control burning so that when there is a bushfire it becomes VERY severe putting lives at risk, especially those of the rural firefighters !
No-one can look at it unless they are capable of walking long distances. We should just feel all warm and cuddly knowing it's out there while we sit at home, watch TV programs like Big Brother and get fat.
The feral cats, dogs, rabbits, deer and every other bloody introduced crap animal can destroy what 4WD's are currently NOT destroying.


****ers (This word included out of curiosity as to what the auto censor will do).
