In the US National Parks are true National Parks administered and
funded by the Federal government. At a second level are State Parks
run by individual states.
In Australia we have "National Parks" that in the majority are State
Parks administered by the separate states as attested by the proposed
NSW legislative change.
This situation, that differs from that in the US in both name and
administration has probably been addressed before, perhaps many
times. However I believe the
current situation in NSW makes it necessary to revisit this issue.
Perhaps the COG committee could consider approaching the Federal
Minister for the Environment
to confront this issue with a view to changing both name and
administration. Federal control and funding of key Parks along US
lines would be timely. Indeed,
such a change should have been made many years ago.
