NSW Labor will spend $80 million to establish a koala national park in a bid to conserve the marsupial’s population but there are “major hurdles,” says Australian Koala Foundation Chair Deborah Tabart.
Ms Tabart said she was “impressed” by Labor’s hope to bring “billions of dollars” in tourism out of the park and supported a transition from logging to tourism.
“Negotiating with the loggers is going to be massive – all legislation in Australia allows logging to occur in those landscapes,” she told Sky News Australia.
“Every politician in Australia, if you want three billion dollars from tourism to come to our shores … if you want them to see koalas in the wild, you better get your skates on cause the habitats are dying.”
