Draft Heritage Protection Bill Scrapped

[Amelanchier]

Just heard on the news that the proposed Heritage Protection Bill will be amongst those scrapped to allow time and effort for the Govt. to work on the economy.

 

This was the bill that various groups were pushing to include ancient trees as Green Monuments - major setback for the cause.

 

 

 

 

All because a butterfly flapped its chequebook...

Whats new. Either the powers that b rush things through half arsed and leave them a sod to manage or they just shelf them for a bit due to 'more important matters'

[Amelanchier]

Oh nothing new - just annoying. Would it be cynical of me to think that it only got binned because it won't draw votes?

Reckon you could be on the right track. Im also a cynical 0ld git that's been around and seen all the promises but to no avail.
