There's been a fair bit of discussion about various policy changes underway
by the Liberal National Party Government in Queensland which have

reviewing of various national park declarations, the opening up of national
parks for grazing and the ditching of wild river declarations.
I've attempted to summarise these concerns in a piece published this weekend
by The Weekend Australian which I've now blogged and illustrated. See here
