The policy targets a section of our community that either possesses good intentions but is largely ignorant of the real issues facing the Victorian bush, or prefers to misrepresent its own selfish aesthetic as environmental concern.
The Bracks Government appears to have no regard for communities such as Trentham that have the misfortune to be close to the haunts of the weekend rural latte set.
If those who posture concern for the environment were genuine, then they would find their interests closely ally with rural Victoria. Thus, I'd unhesitatingly vote for any party that placed reformation of DNRE and protection/repair of environmentally devastated areas such as the Alpine National Park near Licola on its agenda.
Instead, the Greens and the major parties choose soft targets that have
little merit.
