	National Park Reserve System - 03/12/1996 - ADJ
		Now the Carr Labor Government intends to ignore the procedures established by the national forest policy and the ALP's forest policy by granting resource security before the final national parks are decided, before ecologically sustainable logging practices are adopted and before a credible appraisal of existing timber resources has been undertaken.
		The National Parks and Wildlife Service did an assessment and also found that the timber claimed was simply not there.
		There can be no doubt that this is being done deliberately to stop a truly comprehensive, adequate and representative national park system from being declared and to stop forests from being managed on an ecologically sustainable basis.
