Bundanoon has banned bottled water, planning to place free water fountains in the streets instead.

Hunting in National Parks

Get this... while we struggle with a little trail access, seems there is a real chance that a bill being introduced in NSW parliament next week may actually be passed and allow recreational hunting of native animals in National Parks! Are they for real!?

I wonder if hunters actually know that getting access to National Parks is pointless because they can't actually go anywhere within them! Eye-wink Oh, sorry to make a joke, but it's ironic don't you think?

Oppose the Game Council Amendment Bill 2009

URGENT!

In the next week (between Tue 23 and Thu 25 June 2009) the NSW Government is set to pass legislation that will:

  • allow recreational hunting in national parks
  • allow recreational hunting of native animals
  • establish private game reserves
  • undermine of feral animal control efforts across NSW.

Sadly even though this sounds unbelievable, it's actually true.

Update: The more you read about this the more disgusting it is, I'm amazed it's not been in the mainstream media. Couple stories here:
