Hello Birding-Aus people,
As Carl has pointed out the Shooters are keen to use silencers on their
guns when shooting in our National Parks.
However the negative response to this proposal has been so strong that
the Premier of NSW has now issued a statement
saying that it will not happen.
See:

This demonstrates that the Premier is, well at least a little bit,
responsive to public opposition . Accordingly people who
would like to use national parks without fear of being shot should voice
their feelings to the Premier and the Minister for the
Environment.
Barry O'Farrell:

The political problem is that Barry O'Farrell has promised Nick Greiner
and his associates that he will find billions of dollars to build
more roads all over Sydney. The only way he can think of to find this
money is to sell the coal burning power stations to overseas
companies. To do this he needs the support of the Shooters Party in
Parliament. The Shooters are demanding that he fulfil their
wish list which is basically to allow anything to do with guns in
America to happen here. So as a consequence we bird watchers
will now risk being shot every time we go birding in a NSW National Park.
Cheers,
Jim Smart

NSW's doughty little nimrods are worried that the sound of gunfire in National
Parks will disturb other users. So concerned, that they now want to be able to
use silencers on their firearms.

Aren't they kind.
