Victoria's Alpine National Park is to get a state government-funded
clean-up, but the evicted cattlemen reckon they took good care of the
environment for free.
Six months ago, 600 mountain cattlemen and women mustered on horseback
outside Victoria's parliament house to protest a ban on alpine grazing in
the national park.
Generations of high country families said the move would threaten their
livelihoods and destroy a 170-year-old tradition.
Today, January 5th 2006, acting Premier John Thwaites announced an
environmental works program to eradicate pests from the park and revegetate
the Alpine bogs.
"Cattle grazing will continue outside the park's boundaries, but we will be
restoring the environment to its natural state in the Alpine National Park,"
he said.
"With the removal of the cattle, a $7.5 million Bracks government funding
package and increased volunteer efforts, environmental works will be stepped
up dramatically in the park."Mr Thwaites said Parks Victoria had established
partnerships with several community groups and projects would include
controlling goat numbers in the Mount Mittamatite region and restoration of
historic alpine huts.

"TWITer" has cost the public of Victoria under direction from the Green $7.5
million for a job done FREE by the High Country Cattlemen over 170 years.

It has been established environmentally, outside the concrete minded Radical
Greenneck destruction bunker, internationally that cattle grazing
contributes to the environment and do not destroy bogs and watering holes as
projected from the boutique science graduates presenting tailored finding
suited to Greenneck agendas.

Accountable they are not - radical they are - and it's your vote Victoria.

Ask the question just how much funding are the GREEN's getting from the $7.5
million street theatre being presented in the Alpine Park being directed and
produced by the Bracks government.

Being granted water rights in Victoria by the Bracks government, the
Greenneck recently SOLD irrigation water to farmers - the people they are
he'll bent on destroying - for several $millions which will boost their
coffers to fund their death squads who are killing off our rural industry by
threats and false ecology.

Labor platform is supported by funding the Green Machine - but its your vote
