My local council is “green” all the way through. And they’re complicit (with Parks Victoria) in closing a well utilised tourist road around our prettiest local lake. It has been our local culture for 100 years to go around the back of that (man made) lake for the peace and quiet. Now it’s only for walkers and mountain bikers. Which PV and the local council have combined to bulldoze tens of kilometres of bush to form tracks for! Now mountain bikers come from all over the state (in their four wheel drive twin cabs no less) to cycle through our bush. 🤔🤦‍♂️ Our council election is now on and I will be putting “greens” and party affiliated councillors last.

Many years ago, just browsing, I came across a test paper regarding shutting down regional areas (bit annoyed now I never downloaded it), and I'm talking about 15-20yrs ago. It was meant for a US audience, but I see the ramifications here now. It talked about state forests, national parks, smaller towns and all the services they contained (banking, govt services and private) just being shut down. The paper mentioned forcing people into cities and only with a permit could they travel into these areas. I know all first world governments have their own agendas, and they all follow each other eventually, so beware ...

[@MrWhitmen1981]

There should be a balance out there. The 4WD community sometimes is so reckless and damaging to the roads and that’s before they even go off road. But the state government should really allocate a large tract of land for what is a genuine hobby where these drivers can enjoy a challenging experience. But just shouldn’t come at the cost of destroying nature state wide, with their terrible decisions to cut through. Honestly there is very little reason to own a 4WD in the state of Victoria. I would only advocate for it in FNQ where the roads stop being roads as you go west.

[@4WDTV]

loads of reasons to own a 4wd and travelling and exploring this amazing country is just as Australian as boomerangs and Vegemite! The Indigenous tribes wandered this great land for 70,000 years and brave explores opened it up for modern settlement. Prospecting then boomed and the passion, love and capability Aussies have to thrive in the beautiful Australian outdoors continues today. There are a small group of idiots in all communities whether you ride mountain bikes, are muslim or own nursing homes - every group has that small amount of morons who ruin it for everyone else when the vast majority are reasonable, common sense humans who do the right thing. We do currently have a balance. But there is a minority who want to take that balance away from us and converting almost a million acres of state forests into national parks (in just Eastern Victoria) is no form of balance. It also doesn't take much to realise that it was primarily the 4wd industry that saved Australia during the GFC. There's a million reasons as to why Australia is the number one manufacturer of 4x4 automotive accessories and is regarded worldwide for it's 4wd destinations, 4wd products and 4wd know how. In Fact the owner of 4wd TV is called on to do consulting around the world, he is engaged by some of the world's biggest automotive events as an expert judge and consultant and he does 4x4 training globally. When you travel, you realise how much respect, validation and weight the Aussie 4wd scene carries. So please don't devalue the community or lump the good majority together with the minority of bush abusing dickheads who are most likely the same clowns who the cops trod on for their hoon behaviour in lowered Commodores.

Just wondering if you are going support the caseation of logging in the forest.

[@4WDTV]

do you mean cessation? Absolutely not, the loss of logging is a huge travesty for our country. In fact the balanced management of our forests through logging has been one of the most positive and balanced approaches to preserving both our access to and the safety and integrity of our State Forests. It doesn't take much effort or brain space to understand that. Not only have we lost a huge economic strength for our state, we have caused untold loss and damage to those people and families living and working in these rural areas along with placing the forest and environment air great risk. Loggers kept the roads in good order, kept the forest open and just like the Aboriginals did controlled buy runs, the loggers cycled the land in a planned and balanced way that minimised the fire risks, maximised the growth of native species and the over all affect assisted with the management of noxious flora and fauna. As a final word and to reiterate, the loggers were our first defence against bush fires on many levels. With that first line of defence now gone and with all the other benefits off logging gone, the pending bushfire seasons will be uncontrollable infernos that will devastate our economy and landscape. More lives lost and more blood on the hands of the greens. Wake us Australia.

I don't have Facebook. How to I find out about these?

[@mattmacca3990]

They’ll lock us out and hand it to their “traditional owners” to do as they wish… And I say traditional owners with an industrial level of sarcasm…

[@4WDTV]

As a Queenslander how can I help? I went to the petition but that's for Victorian residents only. I was going to do an empty esky tour after the fires of the 2020 summer but that was stopped. Now I plan on coming down in January 2025 with my dogs. Now what do I do, bypass the whole of Victoria because I have dogs? do we have a ministers email address?

[@4WDTV]

Thank you mate. Please get onto the Facebook page Victorians Against the Great Forest national Park. There is plenty to be done and more coming. It's for all Aussies

[@Trixy3Trixy]

What is going on? We just watched the entire video and read the petition and nothing explains what is happening and who is doing what… what is the difference between having a state or national park? How can we find out what is happening? We go camping a lot, will this effect us or just people with 4WD.s? Can we have a link to some information explaining it so we can share it around? Thanks

[@4WDTV]

Hi Trixy, video is very clear is spelling out that they want to convert close to million acres of State Forest into National Park and that ALL bush users are distraught over this knowing what it will mean. There are also a number of links incasing one to the main Facebook page where this is being fought out. National Park does not allow for pets, hunting, fishing, free camping, horse riding and plenty more activities that most Aussies like to enjoy. It also means the forest gets somewhat locked up and feral species over grow due to mis management. So not only will there be an explosion in feral deer and wild dogs and cats, the bush fire risk will be crazy.

[@Trixy3Trixy]

We didn’t know that national parks don’t allow all of that. This is terrible. I see people I know saying it’s no big deal and no difference they can still go anytime they like and are not locked out. They, like us have no idea we can’t free camp, fish and bring out dog. This is really bad. Thank you for explaining it. I’m sending everyone a text tonight so they know what’s going on. is this Australia wide as well?

[@4WDTV]

@@Trixy3Trixy yes it is going to be a huge loss if it goes through and they won't keep all the tracks open, most will get closed off.

Thank you for your support. check for updates on their Facebook page please.

[@shaun4033]

You need to combine with other organisations, Field & Game, SSAA, 4WD Clubs, Horse Riding Clubs, Hiking clubs, Unions ect. You will have much more success as a united front. Field & Game successfully campaigned to have duck hunting continue against greens with support of ETU and other organisations. Field & Game have started Take action Tuesdays, search out these types of things and link them all up.

Is there a date in which they will pass or not pass this?

[@4WDTV]

that is been g very well guarded, the whole process has been secretive and this whole movement against this started by the underhanded way the consultation process was being run in secrecy, basically with zero consultation and a biased committee. it's disgusting.
