Fukc basing your vote on what the government can do to help climbing, we're pretty spoilt for protected national and state parks hosting good climbing areas and they're not going anywhere.....

Seeing as the majority of climbing areas aren't anywhere near metropolitan cities and the majority of people live in these cities, a growing population's not going to destroy Australia's parks any time soon....

Dick Smith's proved he really is a dick by claiming to be an expert in population after researching it for six months, saying what about when Australia's population reaches 100 million, and 1 billion, and 100 million billion!!! It's a fukcing joke, Australia's one of the least populated areas per capita than anywhere else, a cut to migration numbers isn't going to be a good thing. also So damn sad to see such a racist ideology surrounding so many australians, that the plight of asylum seekers is used in the context of australia's population.....

I think a more pressing issue for the future of australia's bush is foreign ownership (good report on Radio National recently). The Greens have the best policy on this issue by far.

Personally I'm happy the greens are giving preferences to labor, works out well for my vote, labor lower house, greens senate.... imagine if Tony Abbott was Prime Minster, fukcing hell....
