At least the Federal Government has been able to force the new Victorian
State Government to withdraw the cattle from the high country. I suspect
that even if the Shooters get their way and have the NSW State Government
allow shooting in National Parks, this will be reversed by the Federal
Government. I am not 100% sure of the gun legislation in this country, but I
thought the gun laws were National, rather than State? Isn't that how the
Howard Government got the laws changed and the gun buy-back happening after
Port Arthur?

Hi all,
I don't know why everyone is so surprised and dismayed, it was all public
knowledge before the election. It happened here in Vic with cattle on the
highplains, a call for hunting feral animals in national parks, and we
already have a greatly increased duck hunting season. NSW will be the same
and I expect that Qld will follow as soon as the govt changes. The federal
ALP looks shaky too. In the US where I lived anyone out for a walk in the
woods had to wear a fluorescent jacket to try and avoid being shot at. Most
times it worked.
As the song says, times they are a changing. Sigh.
cheers
Jen
