Following on from Bruce’s and others comments, people might like to look at the table attached, the Supplementary Pest Control ................... particularly look at the list of visitors to some of the reserves that COG sometimes visits, e.g. Round Hill. From my point of view I would love to know where the figure for The Charcoal Tank NR (the “The” is the reserves correct name), the site where our group of us does our banding, comes from. This was forwarded to me and the Charcoal Tank banding list by Denis Wilson but I also received it from a NSWNPWS source. This visitor number figures were hidden in the original document I received. I feel somewhat happier but am still wary of what may yet happen. I have deleted the names on that banding list for privacy reasons. Cheers, Mark From: Denis Wilson [

According to a list I have been given by my local NSW State MP (a Liberal), Buddigower is on a secondary list. Charcoal Tank seems to have dropped off any lists.
No-one is quite sure of the status of this list, as it came from Minister Parker's Office. Word is that she is not making the decisions. Her Press Release is also attached.
Certainly, as it stands, with the severely adverse recommendations against the Game Council, in the recent review by Steve Dunn, we are in a much better place than two weeks ago. However, the Shooters and Fishers Party have been very quiet since the Dunn review has been released, and those guys have a reputation for not giving up easily. I suspect there is a lot of furious behind-the-scenes negotiation going on.

Following a review, supposedly by someone independent, the NSW Government has decided to run a trial in 12 national parks where shooters will be accompanied by NPWS personnel. These parks are not yet listed but I feel that The Charcoal Tank and Buddigower Natures Reserves are now no longer on the list for shooters. That makes me feel a whole lot happier! As a by product of the review, shooting in State Forests has also been suspended and the NSW Game Council has been abolished with a group to oversee the shooting in parks to be set up under the NSW Department of Primary industry. My feeling on this is that the NSWNPWS should also be part of this new group. Still it is a step in the right direction. Here’s hoping for a bit more common sense to prevail in the future. Mark |
