WHAT THE READERS SAID

“There is only one issue — climate change. Tasmania needs to electrify its transport system, increase its forest carbon sinks and plan for sea-level rises of multiple metres on top of investment in large-scale renewables.”

“Over-development will be the end of Tasmania as we know it.”

“To not let the Greens & ‘environmentalists’ halt every development that people try to establish in Tasmania.”

“Stop protecting polluting industries, i.e. sea-based fish farming, as a way of building tourism and protecting the environment.”

“Stop logging native forests. Drain and restore Lake Pedder. Please don’t spoil our state by selling more of it to developers. What we have is priceless. We don’t need more development in national parks.”

“Sensitive development of our resources. Enhance without despoiling our natural assets. Ensure that what makes this beautiful, friendly place unique thrives and prospers to still be the place that makes us special. “

Development in national parks, like Freycinet, is a hot topic for readers.

“Climate change is the major priority.”

“Clean and green, it’s in our brand and a big part of our future.”

“Overcrowding, no commercial development in national parks, reduce or cap tourist numbers! “

“Make people more accountable for their actions!!”

“Stop destroying what is left of our natural environment.”

“Increase funding to PWS to better protect our Parks and biodiversity. Far too much has been cut from these budgets.“

“No private development in national parks.”

“Environmental management. We have world class national parks and natural areas but facilities are poorly managed and run down.”

“End the forestry debate. Stop subsidising the industry behind closed doors with mates’ deals.”

“Preserve World Heritage Area as untouched wilderness rather than always sneaking ways to get around the rules. No high-rise development in cities. No rezoning of crown land. Keep Tasmania small, historic, charming and beautiful.”
