Australia needs to reassess the role and management of its national parks : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 24/1/2020

The 'State of the Parks 2004' report, said that, in more than 90 per cent of NSW national parks, attempts to manage weeds and pest animals were non-existent, non-effective, or producing only a slow change.

Exactly right Bazz. A good land manager cannot an environmental studies course make. Nor can a public service uniform.
Only the person with skin in the game, so to speak, who faces loss from wrong decisions will manage land with clear eyes.

Landowners bordering mismanaged public land have been struggling with the problems for years but their complaints always fall on the deafest of ears. There's always been a kind of arrogance, a sense of superiority over the private individual from the public service. The result is indifference over harm caused. It's endemic.

That's why the only real solution is removing all land use, vegetation and fauna management restrictions from private land

Jamo,
Yes & no because it all depends on what's down-stream so to speak.
If a landowner clears a lot of vegetation he must also ensure that no run-off affects next door etc. This is an even more pressing issue if there are waterways involved.

"If a landowner clears a lot of vegetation he must also ensure that no run-off affects next door etc. This is an even more pressing issue if there are waterways involved."

Individual. Indeed such concern has been the basis for most "environmental" controls imposed over private property. However, removing restrictions doesn't remove liability for harm caused over the fence.
An argument is made for these inverse onus state controls that liability is lessened where process is followed.
This can be an issue for say a private landowner suffering problems radiating out from land managed in technical accordance with state laws. Such as national parks. Could be any land really.

As well there's the plain unfairness of your enjoyment of your land curtailed at the whim of others, at your cost, not theirs.
Seeking permit grants every busybody, malcontent and sly advantage seeker influence over what you paid for.
Through this inverted onus environment an unhealthy sense of entitlement to 'own the view' has grown motivating objectionist activity.
Equally, the encroachment of others is manifest in the outright vegetation clearing bans on private property. There's no compensation avenue there for loss as a result, as the fires are showing.

Jamo,
Yes, most of these restrictions come from bureaucrats rather than people who know.
It reminds me when I called police because the neighbour was burning batteries a bout 5 metres from my bedroom & the smoke drifted right into the room. I decided to call the Police because the bloke just didn't take any notice.
The Police came up with a great alternative, "you should move into another room if the smoke bothers you ".
