Fwd: [Birding-Aus] NSW Game Council disbanded & hunting on NSW State lands banned for 2 months

Less bad news.  

It is interesting that the Minister's Press Release doesn't say which 12 Parks are to be the crash-test dummies for this exercise.  Nor is there any information about what criteria are to assessed (or how) in deciding whether the test is a success or not.

The NSW Game Council has been disbanded & its functions transferred to the Dept of Primary Industries. All hunting on NSW State lands has been banned for at least 2 months. The hunting in NSW National  Parks policy is still in place, but the criteria for eligibility for hunters has be considerably changed.
