[QUOTE="SCROUNGER, post: 209940, member: 4820"] You won't get an argument from me regards this park Atom. I personally feel this park is not necessary but if areas are of 'natural national significance or under serious threat from visitation' then by all means make a clear and rational case and shut those sections off if need be with consultation with the users, not the city greens and dogooders. The problem as i see it with many of these parks is that it just allows the states to wipe their hands of any responsibility regards controlling weeds and feral animals etc once a national park has been gazetted. It's cheaper to lock something up so people can't use it than manage it intelligently. We've all seen the way government authorities throw the onus of controlling weeds like blackberries onto farmers but do nothing themselves when these weeds are smothering vast areas within the parks that most people never see. They won't even take responsibility of wild dogs coming out of national parks and decimating farmers livestock so what hope is there for maintaining fire tracks etc. I urge as many people as possible on this forum to sign this petition IF they feel a national park isn't in the best interests of them and the general public.
