[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 520191, member: 3461"] It's sad that these supposed threatened or endangered species create such a nightmare for farmers and miners. Most are not Keystone species by any stretch, just a subspecies or grass or flower or tree. The thing that really bothered me on my land was that it was so hard to even find out what the hell they were meant to look like. Over half my land has issues with potentially protected species being present, but no-one in the council seemed to even know what they were. Turns out it's a small clump of flowering grass that looks a lot like every other clump of flowering grass and a subspecies of Ironbark that covers arrange of many thousands of square kilometres. Not exactly the sort of stuff l would cry about loosing. Thing is that many farmers would be perfectly happy to set aside a portion of their land for environmental protection, to be left natural, but we would want to control which land and how it was best managed. Not some bloody shit wearing a suit in Brisbane sitting at their computer that has never got mud on their boots. And the way it always ends up being the landholders responsibility to pay for council or state decisions just makes me want to give up. They make the change, they should be responsible for proving/paying. [/QUOTE]
