I mentioned in an earlier post that I thought the Federal government’s heritage listing of the Alpine National Park would do nothing with regards to the granting of grazing licences by the state government.

Canberra is now trying to be ‘reasonable’ and wishes to reach a compromise agreement with the Victorian government to prevent the case going to the high court.

This seems to back up my earlier claim. The federal government will look a little silly if the High Court says that it doesn’t have a leg to stand on. So now the Feds are trying to come across as the reasonable sort who just want to bring everyone to the table.
