Labor’s new National Park won’t go ahead without Canberra’s approval of it as a carbon credit project.
Legislation introduced to NSW Parliament this week makes clear that the park can’t be created until the land is declared a Commonwealth carbon credit project.
This confirms what the NSW Nationals have said from day one – this is the Great Carbon Credit National Park.
Labor has told Mid North Coast communities that this is about koalas, but their own legislation says it is about carbon credits first.
Labor’s public messaging about koalas had been a distraction the entire time.
This is a Labor cash grab from the carbon credit market.
The people of the Mid North Coast shouldn’t have to read the fine print of legislation to find out what this park is really about.
Timber workers, sawmills, contractors, recreation and tourism operators, and the towns that depend on these industries deserve the truth after being deliberately misled by the Minns Labor Government.
