Extremely interesting discussion/debate around what's going on in our national parks.
In short: some good stuff (but not nearly enough), and still a lot of bad stuff. As Pádraic outlined, a huge part of the problem remains a lack of management plans and statutory legislation for the role of NPs.

I discussed the management of our National Parks earlier with Minister Christopher O'Sullivan. There are positives but we're not at the stage where we can say that the State is managing Parks to a high standard.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.
