The Liberals’ efforts to privatize Halls Island will not wash with local fly fishers and bushwalkers, whatever the proponent Daniel Hackett decides about public access.

The case against the proposal for helicopter-accessed luxury huts at Lake Malbena in the World Heritage Area grows stronger by the day.

Cassy O’Connor MP | Greens Leader and Parks spokesperson

The Hodgman Government’s ‘open for business’ mantra is backfiring on both them and Tasmania.

Cassy O’Connor MP | Greens Leader and Parks spokesperson

The proposal to privatise Lake Malbena inside the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area attracted overwhelming opposition and no public support in the single formal opportunity provided for comment.

Cassy O’Connor MP | Greens Leader and Parks spokesperson

The Greens today tabled a leaked copy of the National Parks and Wildlife Advisory Committee’s (NPWAC) submission to the Federal Government on the proposal to build permanent huts and allow up to 120 helicopter flights and landings at Lake Malbena in the Walls of Jerusalem.*
