I meant that with a Labor government, preservation of jobs in safe Liberal or National seats would not have as much a priority as it would be if they were marginal Labor seats. The converse would apply if the Coalition were in Government. It is a basic law of politics; all why bother looking after an electorate who will not vote you into power?

Cheers,

Funny, I'd have said the opposite given the behaviour of the National Party and their campaign to eradicate "woody weeds".

To be fair, I'd have said that the NSW Labour party has had a better track record of protecting habitat than the Qld Nationals or federal Liberals, but habitat west of the Great Divide has never been regarded as important compared to habitat on or east of the Divide. It's all about visibility to the majority of the population IMO.

Regards,
Rob
