Locking up of wombat and lerderderg state forests

[JMC_Def]

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anybody was interested in hearing about the vic govts new proposal for the lock up of the wombat and lerderderg state forest. This will immensely effect Victorian and interstate hunters by locking up a combined 90000 hectares across the state. The result stifling traditions and culture of over 100 years of hunting in the area. I’ve linked the VEAC recommendations report if anyone wants print it to wipe ass with it!!! and also a link for a a petition endorsed by several members of the legislative council of Victoria. cheers!
