A deer price paid by Mountain Cattlemen?

"Has the State Government done a dirty deal with the Victorian National Parks Association to replace cattle and mountain cattlemen in the Alpine National Park with deer and shooters?

Did Mr Bracks and Mr Thwaites want to court some shooters votes but at the same time retain their green support base?

Did they say to the VNPA "support us on this one and we'll do in the Mountain Cattlemen?"

Is that why the VNPA has laid off the deer issue?

The Mountain Cattlemen have been evicted but deer enthusiasts are delighted with the new arrangements. Makes a mockery of all those environmental concerns the State Government listed in support of banning cattle."

"Bundarrah Days: Life in the Australian Bush" is a new BLOG started in June to follow the fortunes of the Mountain Cattlemen.
