Western Australia Parks Proposal Condemned
It's not often that the announcement of new National Parks and Conservation
Reserves is met with such disappointment. West Australian Premier Richard
Court made the announcement to convert some 540,000 hectares in to 2
National Parks and 3 Conservation Reserves. The proposal has been widely
condemned, primarily because it blatantly fails to respect and involve the
aboriginal traditional owners.=20
Premier Richard Court has labelled those opposing the parks proposal as
following a political agenda. Maria Mann is from Environs Kimberley, a
local environment group based in Broome, and she rejects the Premier's
accusation saying that it's simply about good conservation and opposing a
cynical exercise in trying to win green credential. Here Maria Mann begins
by describing the land now proposed for conservation.
