For Interest Only - Vic Govt / Central Vic Forest Proposal

BUGU is a front for the logging industry. A lot of what they say is absolute nonsense. Camping, horse riding, fishing etc are allowed in Victoria's national parks. Not all of the land in question is to become National Park, the only thing all areas have in common is loggers will be locked out.

Looks like they already stopped logging in this area according to the ABC article.
Fossicking, horse riding are rectricted in Victorian National parks and hunting is restricted to certain times and parts of the Alpine National Park.
Be nice to keep it open to all recreational persuits.

VicForests and the logging industry they represent are in desperate trouble and will probably get wiped out by the impending ban on logging in native forests due in a few years. As they're subsidised to fuck by the taxpayer I don't see the issue. If we can let tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs die because of some irrational hatred of subsidies then VicForests can go too.

Also they're (probably) the reason we can't ride at Macedon anymore.
