Hi all,
This is taken from a LNP release on the ABC Yarrawonga area website dated today:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/11/02/3054641.htm
The Victorian Opposition has promised to set up a new organisation to represent the interests of hunters and shooters if it wins the state election.
National party leader Peter Ryan says the Game Management Authority will ensure firearm and hunting licence fees go towards managing game reserves and improving pest control.
He says the Coalition will also look at increasing the role shooters play in controlling pest animals in national parks.
“We believe that for the very, very, very main part the people who are licensed shooters throughout the state do exercise their rights extremely responsibly,” he said.
“We think there is a very, very great opportunity therefore to enable Government to work constructively with them in the interests of the community at large.”
I think I might become very, very very worried in a National Park if the LNP win the state election. BUT, on the bright side maybe BOCA and BA can make a lot of money by selling fluoro vests to birdwatchers.

Crikey, even the NSW government hasn’t tried that, yet. State Forests, yes, but even the NSW Game Council hasn’t managed that. Though, if it happens in Vic., it will no doubt happen in NSW.
