Arrogant failure to see the big picture in Conservation

CASE STUDY   May 2016    A farmer kills a planning officer about to prosecute him for treeclearing/ weed conrol

Dear Mr Turners death should be mourned deeply as unnecessary and unjustified
But public servants and politicians old and new must be held accountable for the fact that it is still not good biodiversity protection legislation.  
 Its very tragic that Mr turner lost his life because of a farmer who couldn't cope with the Native vegetation laws. It may be that Mr Turnbull was a recalcitrant property developer but either way - its not just HIS problem;

Others are being driven mad too by BAD legislation that has hung around sensible thinking  peoples necks for over 30yrs .That's a lot of time for  bad law to operate .For the half baked meddling too that has been part of its history .   A lot of that legislation  doesn't make scientific and ecological sense and worse its been dumped into the wrong hands for someone to manage ; It was insisted upon by GREEN politicians who didn't know what they were doing ,    Retention is NOT the be all end all of conservation .

As one who administered the ill conceived NVR rules and knows their dumb place in legislative history,  I know every year for nearly 20yrs we tried to make the law for protecting biodiversity ( whih is much much more than existin vegetation )   make sense only to see arrogant GreenLabor forces add the Commonwealth to the list of incompetence and irresponsibility errors made so far in so  their own political ineptitude to the problem . The current Federal government are right to insist the States get it right cause its a piece of legislation pushed into the administrative courts by the GREENS . Biodiversity management is too important to be left in the hands of administrators and bookkeepers - What has the world come to
