Our National Parks Aren't Ours Anymore.. 

Man, I can only imagine your struggle, since every other State allows it, but not every State even allows you to access what just a few years ago was crown land or reserves. Up here everything that was State land is now national Park ( No prospecting. ) or it's freehold land and available for a selection of society.

Seems like standard government practice since 2020. #governmentoverreach . One rule for thee another for me.

Love the show 😊

Its about time Parks and Wildlife got a kick up the backside .

I hope the media picks this up and confronts your politicians directly and ask for a response!! This is nuts Rob. Don't give up!

Terra Nullius was proven legal fiction so they are ours Aboriginal people

I agree with Rob that the pricing of Cradle mountain seem ridiculous. However, national parks were never set aside for humans. They are established for the wildlife.

@@mysweetcupcake1788 lol you're either Aboriginal or not

Aboriginals, oh really. How come it’s about those people. We are in a different century

@@mysweetcupcake1788 lol correct but how many countries were already here.... There's nothing more racist than a black fella trying to prove that they are white enjoy

Вы правы!

They dont want a slice they want it all

Spot on!

​@@barraponicsnthings9690correct 👍🇦🇺

Straight up, our government makes money off us in a hundred different ways but they keep charging us for every day things! Robbers and corrupt dogs

There has to be a distinction between national parks and national forest

They now want money for the vus at Cradle IN ADDITION to the pass cost.

That's true.

There is a park in the NE of Tasmania where L.C.C. charge you to go passed the boomgate if you want to use the restroom facilities. It's a mess

yeah those international corporations listed with the securities and exchange commission posing as governments, police and military operating in our countries on behalf of international religious chosenite zealots sure are getting out of hand, I'm probably just a low intelligence quotient, mouth breathing, paranoid conspiracy theorist though, or am I?.....

Its not just Tasmania my friend

You said it . Unelected public Servants… I’ll say that again. Public Servants..

Vote them out.

Freemason wicked Freemason

No they don't! They know exactly who they serve. It's a corporate government so they serve their corporate mates!!!

I agree they know full well who they are serving

They serve the central bankers …. You know the ones destroying our world

Yep they serve corporates and their banker masters

Like here in america they know who they serve and they believe we are idiots and they do it subverting the very laws we have they bend them pray in Jesus name that the CHRIST JESUS CMES SOON

Dude he's making 'content,' that's a business, he needs to get used to paying for it bro, with 'time (waiting for bureaucracy)' and money. RU-vidrs often hog lookouts and the like, and can be very pushy. Not saying you are, but... I would like to see the number of content creators in the bush severely limited. The bush is for citizens, not only businesses. Having said that, the Government should have given him his pass by now, that's just awful.

That's said very well. Lot of people come down only because of some generous people like Rob and others do bring the beauty . Also imagine, people enjoy the beauty without being here physically, so he is and others are hope for that sort of the people who want to see that but can't make it because of so many reasons. Good on ya Rob

Didn't they lock you up over a cold? Aren't Australians restricted in a lot of ways? I'm not being sarcastic.

Australia has been infiltrated

Canada too

And New Zealand...

Welcome to agenda 21/30, soon you will live in the pod if you don't stand for your rights.

They want restricted all you movement’s slowly controlling every little lands,that’s is part of the yes

neoliberal economic policy

Exactly. I think it’s time to expose the real Tasmania that’s been logged to the crap house and the 1080 that they use to kill all the native wildlife with all the dead wombats lying around in the logging areas. The last time I went up through Mathinna area I was appalled. Good on you Rob for sticking it up them.

This is the problem when there is no check against inefficiency. When you're funded by the taxpayer - someone else's money, there's no incentive to be cautious or measured. There's no customer base to answer to that will stop funding you if you fail to deliver, because the taxpayer has no say in the matter. And as the years go by, government has only expanded, it is inevitable that more and more people will be directly affected at some point, only then will they realise what a crippling issue this is.

They took all those leafy north shore suburbs and turned them into high rise and near public transport cause they cannot sit on a bus without eating

Where in the Hawkesbury are these 10000000 mansions 🤣🤣 and little to non own the big houses around the Hawkesbury, I think you misspelled Hawkesbury for Sydney

@@benmacrae4784 Cottage Point, Dick head. (Sorry, Rob)

​@@benmacrae4784he said on the Hawkesbury not in, so he's probably talking along the river not in the council area

This person has a good point.

Glad I'm not the only one who disliked that new building up at the lake!

Wouldn't surprise me if the whole thing is run by environmentalists who view the touring public as the biggest threat to the park. They and their masters yearn for the day to return when such beauty was the sole preserve of those whom we now call "the donor class."

You're definitely not alone. Just becoming a theme park for rich tourists@@terry8728

Well bloody said 👏

Fiefdom is the operative word.

I live in the U.S., and I agree it should be free for you all.

It's true what your saying but don't think your vote does anything, the ones that are running the system,put in who they want in, they are stealing our resources and land, they don't own any of it, it's the people's. all this paper work, so called laws is just words and paper, God gave this land and resources to the people.There is only one Law and that's Gods law, don't pay them any of their counterfeit paper, you aren't breaking Gods law and that's between you and God.

can you though? sure about their replacement?

@@sweetjesus697 that’s so true, what was I thinking, they are all tare with the same it’s only about me brush

In fairness, people got what they voted for when they voted Labor & Liberal. They shouldn't have.

@@AHPOutdoors if the vote is between a shit sandwich and a fresh piping hot shit sundae, it's not much of a choice is it?

@@AHPOutdoors left, right, centre, green, independent, they're all the same, become corrupt or get thrown out. It's a systemic problem in the way everything and everyone is governed and controlled.

@@johnsy59 agreed. All of them are hopeless.

From an outdoorman and hunter perspective some of NP are ok run but from what I can observe most parks are turning in a place of hell waiting to burn and it's systemic: most farms I visit do better with far far less !!!

exactly, if we want a society that cares about nature we must find a way to include as many as possible. There are many question marks about how to do this but its necessary. Meanwhile it appears a group of people who would gladly log the last piece of old growth forest on Earth are running the show like feudalist corporate fascists here, not thinking about the big picture, just their own status.

That’s exactly what the morons want, disconnected from reality.

why do they consider your photography as being commercial? And if you're in say, Victoria or Queensland, what can they do to you?

@@mjpt57 because I was paid by Tourism Tasmania to take some of them or assisted by Tourism Tasmania and some brand sponsors, and I sell prints and calendars with them on it. I have less physical impact than most tourists because I usually travel solo and then I constantly promote Tasmania, even though I've not been paid to promote them since about 2018. I absolutely love Tasmania. I live in Western Australia now.

@@lucylovic thank you for your kind words and empathy, must be so fulfilling to put so much positivity out into the world.

the voice would have been a globalist puppet to reduce the land people can use unless mega wealthy. Robots coming for all jobs and doing every passive aggressive tactic to take peoples rights away, make more expensive to do anything. Elites want estate living and want the masses jumping in the river. What things are called determining restrictions is just red tape for the masses.

Is everyone complying?....Of course they are, this is Australia..

@@richardbrown9344 with steel gates which are padlocked and large fine for going around the gates or breaking the lock we are forced to apply to these stupid moron's laws. by some miracle they get voted into power

Because...Native Title claims.

We are seeing this more and more to to often find out they then clear and destroy the land for their own profit 😢 it’s sad they are not trying to help us at all it’s all a big money grab

@@richardbrown9344 we need to stop complying and stand up as one to stop the greed

As I said before mate the tyrants are there to be ignored..

We are the same. We’d rather explore the mainland where we can engage with such areas of wonder without the threat of stubborn enforcement of outdated laws.

Let the Minister know - just send him a post card with that on it, & let's see how smug he feels then.

Ive ignored these corrupt tyrants for years...We all pay enough tax to these wasters..

Here in WA you have to pay entry for all national parks. You can buy an “all parks pass for a year” card thing for I think $120 - $150 (don’t quote me check for yourself on their web site). Here in WA - it used to be free to enter National Parks, because the funds to manage the parks were generated from logging royalties, but since the Government went all lunatic lefty woke on us and banned all native forests logging and sold off all their pine plantations - there are no more logging royalties. In order to keep their jobs these parks people have to find “other revenue sources”. Hence Nat Park Entry Fees & Commercial Filming fees etc. Just about all 6 states now have Nat Parks Drone Filming (for commercial gain) licensing & fees, which just about every content creator totally ignores & never pays). 🙄 Over here the Nat Parks got so desperate for cash, they created a “Marine National Park” out of the Walpole Estuary / Inlet, solely so that they could force the company that rents out houseboats to holiday makers / tourist, to have to pay daily Nat Parks fees on a “profit sharing” arrangement”. It’s “Our Water” now & you the tourism business that’s been here for decades operating successfully - now have to pay us to use our water for your houseboats. There were no “marine values” that needed protection of Marine Park Status” it was a pure money grab by Nat Parks to keep their jobs. This will come to Tassie soon enough Rob & it will really bite like it has now here, when they ban old growth logging in Tassie. The sad thing is, most likely yourself & Levi would cheer on a ban on logging, then bitch & moan when you have to pay to maintain these public lands. You can’t have your Kate & Edith too! 😜😂 When there’s no logging theirs no income to pay for parks, to keep entry free, so Nat Parks Tassie, can see the writing on the wall & are moving to secure their future income streams, so they can keep their jobs & pay their salaries. I believe it’s called “the user pays principle”. Better get used to it - there will be a lot more coming when the mung bean eating tree hugging flower power greens & their ilk get logging banned, because if you listened to them, forests are finite resources like minerals that cannot be sustainably managed in perpetuity, if you believed them, wood doesn’t grow on trees. 🙄👎 Maybe you & Levi need to choose which side you want to be on or develop longer arms & shorter pockets, and get used to paying your own way in future - because there won’t be a logging industry to do that for you. Choose wisely is my advice.

You've got to pay in Queensland and South Australia. No photos in Queensland national Parks and World heritage without prior permit.

​@@ianmoone2359We have plenty of logging in NSW yet we are still expected to get a parks pass or pay per entry. As Richard said above, they are just wasters and enough will never be enough for those grubs.

@@Superstupid1 there to be ignored..

I agree - I think it was a completely malicious prosecution - it was sour grapes on acid - someone must have kicked up a stink to have got this outcome. - I also do not see how Rob, or any small time creator can be ranked as a commercial entity like the ABC or some production company with more than 1/2-dozen staff and camp followers - it's madness. And it is wrong...

Absolutely.

Gotta keep the peasants in their place. They've all lost the plot they are so high on righteous Power.

@@SmallWondapast time for peasants to revolt.

@@allegrosotto2126 Wouldn't be the first time!!

I havent renewed for 2 years either...my old one is still stuck to the windscreen and still works..😂

My wife renewed ours just before Covid and of course it couldn't be used so she asked if there could be a token extension given the circumstances the answer was a flat no. So we won't renew it again and like Rob is suggesting I just go elsewhere. Glad I saw all these places 30 years ago before all this crap. I'd love to go to Ben Lomond again but I'm not buying snow chains just to carry in my vehicle which is permanent 4WD with mud tyres and I'll be stuffed if I'm waiting for a shuttle bus because the road is "so dangerous".

Yes, they should be paying YOU.

Quite - not the nice benevolent fussy wussies are they!

100% UN agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. I’m from the Blue Mountains and dozens of us have been attending council meetings. We are being sold out to the UN under the guise of “environmental sustainability”. It’s written in their own documents.

They're not really interested in tourism. They're more interested in kickbacks from logging companies.

I just hope you take the time to stop at one gate house & tell them WHY - just to drive the point home - a little bit!
