The Victorian State Government are handing over National Parks to the white shoe brigade and must be stopped, Greens Deputy Leader Adam Bandt MP said today.

The government is now able to grant 99 year leases for large-scale tourist developments in two-thirds of Victoria's national park areas.

“Premier Napthine is an environmental vandal” Mr Bandt said.

“He is handing over our precious places to the white shoe brigade.”

“Victorians will not stand for this decision. I predict Mr Napthine will face electoral peril if he continues to go down this path.”
