Parks and Wildlife Service Dig Their Own Grave

[@davidgrant3807]

Rob, as my great grandpa, who for a time was chief justice of Tasmania used to say "The law is for everyone, justice is for them that can afford it" Someone is making or protecting big bucks out of Parks and wildlife's persecution and that my friend is corruption. The damage these bureaucrats are doing to Tasmania's reputation is mind boggling.

[@Stonecutter1004]

Unfortunately, it's Australia wide. I'm having exactly the same problems holding the NSW government to account.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Totally agree with you David 😊🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎

[@Tethysmeer]

That's so sad. In Switzerland we also have national parks, but no entry fees etc. Your just not allowed to camp there, which is ok. You can camp almost anywhere else, do your social media stuff, drone vids etc. There's only one region (Wallis, Matterhorn) where you are not allowed to camp (some silly nature police harassing campers).

[@little_penguin203]

Yeah, I smell a rat. As the saying goes.

[@daniels5709]

Australia for all Australians

[@tincan1469]

Rob/Levi, I started following you when you went in search of Stannards grave, the time, money and effort you put in was incredible. Stannards last resting place would never have been found and with out your efforts would have been lost forever. Parks and Wildlife should be supporting you and your adventures, not persecuting you for using PUBLIC LAND.

[@wayneriches9596]

Hi Rob, for what it’s worth, I’ve written to your Minister Nick Duigan. His office has acknowledged receipt, and said they’ll reply when the matter is investigated. Happy to send another one to the Secretary that you mention. The whole matter is so unfair, discriminatory, and makes no sense. You blokes must have upset some misguided warrior, or bureaucrat. Good on you for sticking up for yourselves, and I encourage everyone to write to the minister. Keep at them. Cheers Wayne

[@dosd8048]

Get over it folks, Shyster Nick Duigan is just following orders from the Crony Unelected One World Grubberment. They Do Not Want Humans in National Parks across Australia, END RESULT. Yet, The Taxpayers MONEY Keep the Employees Running These Parks And Reservse ie Upgraded Housing in The Parkes And Reserves for the the Grubberment Employees; Fill In all Man Made Waterering Points except to the Housing and Compound Structures; Machinery to Grade the Tracks that Currently Humans Are Allowed to Venture On (Not for Long); Fire Fighting Equipment Blah Blah Blah. WAKE Up Aussies, YOU HAVE BEEN BLIND SIDED By Your Corporate Grubberment . . . . . YOU ARE BEING SUCKED DRY BY YOUR HARD EARNT TAX DOLLARS. 1973, THE THEN PRIME MINISTER GOFF WHITLAM, SOLD AUSTRALIA ON THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE AT DELAWARE USA. YOU ARE Slaves and ARE NOW BELONG TO BIG CORPORATIONS Who RELY ON YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO PROSPER! Don't believe me, stop being lazy and research what I my mentioned. PROVE ME WRONG!

[@ginanoble7203]

Who is doing the investigation,this feels like 2 steps forward 4 steps back .Hope Duigan gets his act together and follows up his own letter

[@tazzygeoff621]

They should be paying royalties to both of you.

[@teenslain]

The Tasmanian government should have you and Levi on retainer, your videos are the main reason I wanna come and visit Tassy!

[@Andyhutchinson]

We live in a country that loves red-tape, loves bureaucracy, loves the rule of law. As someone who's only lived here for 20 years I'm constantly amazed at the crap that everyday Australians not only put up with, but implicitly approve of. The shit you're going through is a perfect example - an absolutely meaningless set of regulations, that benefit absolutely no-one and which are enforced simply for the sake of enforcement by government officials who could be better employed doing something meaningful. Watching with interest from NSW.

[@Tasmanaut]

it's disgusting isn't it mate. Look at the covid authoritarian response and the way the vast majority of people not only accepted but cheered it on.

[@ironmind258]

The bureaucracy and over regulation sucks sometimes it really does

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Well said mate it’s so wrong in so many ways we’ve paid our dues, it’s time for them to rethink there behaviour.

[@lindsaybrown7357]

I really don't get it. Your work has put Tassie on the map for so many people and I'm sure it will lead many to plan a trip to Tassie to discover the wilderness and history you have respectfully showcased. The Tassie government should be embracing what you do and supporting your worthwhile efforts.

[@imchpr2000]

Rob and Levi make Tasmania look magical and I was planning a trip from Milwaukee Wisconsin in the US but they way your bureaucrats act has made me rethink my visit because i don't want to be fined and overcharged, who knows i might even be arrested for something I might do by accident. So i am scared to come to Tasmania because of your bureaucrats and i am planning on going to Indonesia, I feel sorry for everyone living in Tasmania.

[@TeslaAtoms]

@@imchpr2000 Sadly, i feel this i exactly what it is all about. Having the one or the other photographer out in the parks has never been seen as a problem. Attracting hundreds of gold prospectors to the parks is a completely different story. P&W do everything in their power to curb the upcoming rush of prospectors to the parks. They see current legislation unfit to stop the stampede, thus, unsurprisingly, new regulations are pushed. Levi and Rob might win the battle for their land access and filming, but they will sure loose the war of keeping prospecting laws as they are.

[@andrewbaron8713]

@@imchpr2000 your not going to get fined for anything, they are just persecuting a couple of utubers, for no reason. Have you ever seen a warden or any other person in the wilds they visit. No one would even know you have visited.

[@andrewbaron8713]

Found it on Facebook, I see comments are now not allowed on either the photographer post or the double down post. I will construct a standard post I can copy and paste onto every post they do. It will be within guidelines, let’s see how long I last before being banned.

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Spot on, I wanted to go there to film videos because of Rob and Levi. Thats not the case now and won’t be until this is fixed

[@nath5440]

Good to hear that other media outlets are shining the light on this , hopefully it continues to grow momentum and changes are made.

[@mijodo2008]

Thank you, Rob & Levi, for standing your ground, and not kowtowing to these Bureaucratic Bullies & Thugs. They should be named and shamed on a public register, then voted out of office. Cheers from Michael.Australia.

[@Jameshnielsen]

As a landscape and portrait photographer, I’m with you all the way, Rob. At this point, Parks and Wildlife are looking to bury their head in the sand and hope this all goes away. They forget what power Tasmanian communities have when it comes to persuading public opinion and forcing change. I, amongst many, will write to our representatives and seek this change, but my strong advice would be to continue to try and get media exposure on this - if the noise gets loud enough, it’ll end up in the house of reps and head for bill amendments. Perhaps brace yourself for more of the ‘mud’ slinging before this sort of change occurs.

[@catherineburk8270]

A couple of months ago I wrote to the premier of Tasmania who passed it onto the minister for parks n wildlife supporting your case. I received a standard reply some weeks later. We support you Rob and Levi and thank you for persevering which is ultimately representing us the people. 👏

[@annagray4208]

Good on you Rob. Stand up for what you and everyone with common sense believes in.

[@kmr3614]

As a new Tasmanian of almost three years, the unbridled Hypocricy that we see everyday down here is 100% perpetrated by GOVERNMENT Departments!! Instead of penalising you both for the magnificent content you create, they should be PAYING YOU for the excellent promotion of our beautiful Tasmanian country!!…🤔

[@jimhawk2557]

Government overreach is everywhere ! Glad you're standing up to them! Everyone, everywhere needs to do this.

[@jethrodigger]

Good on you Rob for not backing down. I light of these latest developments I smell a rat in the ranks tasmania Parks nd wildlife. Maybe its time for a senate inquiry into the operations and discriminations of the various National Parks services. They seem to forget that the taxpayer is ultimately their employer.

[@nessday1821]

It is unbelievable that Parks have treated you and Levi this way. Keep up your great work, and keep fighting, you deserve respect and a positive outcome.

[@GCL110]

Well done Rob, justice will prevail.

[@officialWWM]

This is Tasmania mate. There hasn’t been any justice here since settlement days!

[@williesful]

Wow that’s pretty incredible taking away a person right to explore, totally understandable if it was a unique area with flora and Forna or formations. It’s clearly obvious that the pair of you are no amateurs when it comes to the bush so of coarse you wouldn’t be damaging it. Think they really just want people sat on the couch and not leaving their properties probably because of global warming or something. There’s a idea take in a whole lot of native seedlings to plant on your way in to help with carbon capture 😂. Good luck trying to get this overturned and just hope they don’t employ consultants at a cost of millions to work a plan for you lol cheers for the content you produce.

[@WelshmanAbroad]

Rob - you're an absolute legend. The last video you posted had me cheering out loud. I am Welsh by birth, now living in America but I am emailing the numpty at the top of the Parks tree to share my thoughts on someone on the outside, viewing the beauty of Tasmania through the eyes of content creators. They need to realise that you and Levi are helping ADVERTISE the sheer beauty of the natural bounty that Tasmania has to share with the world. Keep on doing what you're doing. We've got your back, mate! ~~ Ray

[@jp82cards30]

You're exactly right. Someone's amount of income from the photos, whether $1 or $1,000,000, should have no bearing on the rules or how they're enforced. The only factor that should matter on the enforcement of the rules is how you're treating the land, period. They are despicable for putting you guys through all this nonsense.

[@davidfrench507]

Well done mate for taking a stand against this departments discrimination against you two fantastic providers. I am sure you know my views about these departments as I am a 60 year old. Being ex ADF we did not join for these bastards, they were the enemy. Kudos to you guys for standing up for what you do and believe in. My world does not exist anymore it is just a memory..... Many of my age of feel this way now. God I hope it can be turned around.

[@clairegriffiths3547]

I appreciate your ongoing strong voice on this issue. There has been a precedent set by Parks and Wildlife on limiting access and use of land that is going beyond what is reasonable for the protection of lutrawita (Tasmanian) land. The business licence and photography/videography issue is just one of them but deserves all the recognition for it's issues as it's getting and MORE. Beyond this is also the wulinantikala (Cradle Mountain) commercialisation building and additional fees you have talked about on your channel previously, the limitations placed on palawa people to conduct cultural burns/land management/hunting and gathering practices, the attempts to limit off track roaming but excessive infrastructure on others just to name a few. Common sense is not common to those at Parks and Wildlife but money and power talks

[@RickJones-t2b]

Love your stuff Rob. Keep up the fight.

[@davidbradley6448]

We're with you, Rob. You project love and care for the rare and beautiful habitat that you respectfully film for us all. A master of editing, you should be encouraged not persecuted for what you've achieved. You have our full support!

[@idaho2ndgens240]

As a potential Tasmania visitor and tourist, I have found this discrimination mind boggling. Levi and Yourself have brought foreigners such a myself a window into some of the most incredible terrain I have ever seen. You approach to the the care of the land is an example for all to follow. Thank you for what you are doing.

[@DarwinianUniversal]

People are frustrated by the hypocrisies in their own lives, and so relate passionately with you. As am I and as do I. Your vindication and victory are our vindications and victories. Or at least an approximation of it. Feels good to see you winning the battle against those behind closed doors faceless people in places of influence, who grind personal agendas against legit Australians. Australians own Australia, but that's not how these gov departments see it. They see themselves as the owners of this land, at the exclusion of Australian citizens. All of us

[@shaynegriffin684]

The level of incompetence across all levels of government in Australia is quite astounding. As a landowner in Tasmania, and that land backs onto a National Park I guess I should be weary of these facilitators of the National Parks that are actually owned by the people for the people, maybe they should remember where the money they get paid with comes from. Levi and you do an amazing job of presenting Tassie to the world, it has been said earlier but the Parks & Wildlife should be supporting you or treating everyone the same. Anyhow I will send my thoughts through the necessary channels, and good luck with your actions.

[@adammartin9607]

As a former lobbyists writing to the secretary is not enough. Contact the minister in opposition to the minister the secretary reports to. The opposition will love asking questions at budget estimates and questions without notice.

[@BradGryphonn]

When you first started posting about this, I watched and was thinking, "Well, maybe they have a good reason for restricting access..." But then I found out that the licensing rules were created in the Stone Age...well at least when it comes to the web, social media, and amateur content creators. Tas Parks need to drag themselves into the 21st century and move with the times. Back in the day when these rules were drafted, it would generally take a film crew of half a dozen, as well as kilos upon kilos of equipment to film anywhere remote. Base camps, generators, etc etc. A lot of potential environmental damage if it was open slather for filmmakers. Today, the same can be done with one person, such as you, with a few small cameras, some batteries, and a pack, leading to far less intrusiveness on the environment you are documenting.

[@GreyRat-r6r]

Yourself & Levi have my 100% support on this "Bureaucracy gone Mad" syndrome that has crept into Tasmania's good folk well being. Unfortunately the Master at the wheel of the Ship has let the "Crew" run rampart. Not a good standing for the "Master". One only has to look at the changes in Ministers portfolios that have been changed and "reshuffled" since they have been in Government. Please understand I am not one way or the other associated with Political Parties. To put in Layman's terms, those in power are elected by the people, and those that are reporting to those elected are required to abide by the wishes of the people' Not Dictate, enough said. If J.R. would like to talk to me personally it would be welcome. It reminds me of the JR from Southfork Ranch, Dallas. All the best Fellas.

Keep pushing mate. I hope your documentation of this whole affair will bring about massive reforms not just in Tas but all Australia. The Qld gov and pws should b shaking in their boots too with their overarching and destructive practices. At Mossman Gorge in FNQ the pws cleared a massive area and built a massive information centre and car park amd now you have to pay an exorbitant fee to get on a crappy shuttle bus and be driven up to a place where you used to be able to drive. I mean even if they closed the road and made it walking acess only it would've been a better outcome

[@captainfrank01]

My knowledge of Tasmania amounted to a few photos that friends had shown me. But not anymore. Following your travels has given me a real interest in Tasmanian wilderness areas. So much so that when I watch your shows I follow along on google maps so I can actually see where you are and the area you are travelling. This has given me a better knowledge of the river systems, lakes and button grass plains etc. National Parks couldn’t run a billy cart race let alone fairly manage access to a wilderness area as you have shown.

Every now and then I get reminded of how well we have it over here in the USA with our State and National Park Services. Realizing of course, there may be the odd hiccup along the way...I’ve never heard of such blatant discrimination occurring in the way it has happened for you and Levi. This makes my heart sick...I found Levi’s channel first and was led to your channel which added a whole new dimension to my fascination with Tasmania...a country I’d not known anything about other than a cartoon character from my childhood days...the Tasmanian Devil on Looney Toons...ironic being that the Tasmanian Parks Services seems to be the ones that are “Looney Toons”! Keep up the fight and your quest for continued content...I’m sure Parks Services would just throw anything I wrote to them in the trash as I’m an American and my voice won’t be heard as I’m not a Resident of Tasmania...but their actions have no doubt cost them thousands in tourism dollars as I was wanting to travel down under thanks solely to what I saw on your channel and Levi’s as well. ‘Money talks” ...I’m sure there are hundreds like me who will no longer wish to travel to that part of the world where a governmental entity so blatantly discriminates two hugely talented citizen ambassadors who bring Tasmania and all its beauty into our homes with just a click. Sending love and determination to you and Levi.💪🏼👍🏼🙌🏼❤️
