Record visitor numbers in Tasmania’s National Parks in the past financial year reinforces the need to better manage and preserve our protected areas, rather than opening them up to ever increasing visitor numbers and increased commercial exploitation.

Parks’ Minister, Matthew Groom, is overseeing a sham consultation process to enable increased exploitation of the fragile Freycinet National Park.
Submissions on proposed amendments to the Freycinet National Park Management Plan close today, the end of a consultation process that cynically began in the week before Christmas and the holiday season.
This is well travelled path for governments who want to avoid rigorous scrutiny of poor or contentious public policy.
