The Tasmanian government has applied to the Federal government to obtain approval for ‘off-road vehicle mitigation actions’. Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, any actions that are likely to have a significant impact on matters of national environmental significance must be assessed and approved by the Commonwealth Environment Minister. If a proposal is referred, the Environment Minister must decide whether a proposed activity is likely to have a significant impact on a matter of national environmental significance or on Commonwealth land.

Enough is enough. They are the very best caretakers for their own land. If in doubt look what we have done in the 200 years of settlement. Logging – clearing land at unprecedented rate ; Mining – leaving huge ugly holes on the landscape where none has been re-vegetated; Gas wells – that leak like sieves, and pollute soil and water; Industry – that ruins the air we breathe.
If nothing is saved we will suffer the consequences in the long term. Air pollution, no fresh water to drink, no sea life, no wild life, all we will have is a hot dry arid land where anything we want has to be imported.
