In 2017 we fought to protect national park land on Lindeman Island under threat of commercial development.

Before we follow other states starry eyed about potential short-term gains, let us examine the costs and benefits of existing ecotourism developments. With this knowledge, there is an opportunity to demonstrate real leadership rather than copy others.
