🚨 Absolutely terrific news - Mount Warning is officially reopening! See link below. Mt Warning is one of the most beautiful National Parks in NSW … but Matt Kean closed it because of highly contested claims. Mount Warning does have Aboriginal heritage value … but does that mean no one is allowed to climb it unless they were an Aboriginal male from a certain tribe? Matt Kean said yes … but many local Aboriginals said it was so sacred they wanted all people to take in its sacredness. The closure has damaged the local economy which will now rebound as Mount Warning is restored as one of NSW’s preeminent tourist destinations. Seems odd to describe a mountain as charismatic but once you see it, you’ll agree. I would like to thank the following for their unrelenting campaigning: Mr Sturt Davis Boyd (local elder) The Hon Mark Latham MLC Ben Fordham - 2GB Geoff Provest MP Cr Kimberley Hone Craig Kelly Dr Harry Creamer The owners and patrons of the ‘Mount Warning Hotel’ in Uki. A special thank you to Marc Hendrickx - President of ‘Save our Summits’ who lead the campaign and encouraged me to raise this issue whenever I could in parliament. And a big thank you to the NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharp for making a commonsense decision. One disappointing point is that’ll take 18 months to restore the dilapidated track. Yes it is in need of repair and so bureaucrats need 18 months to fix it. If the locals were allowed to voluntarily repair it they’d do it for free and get it ready in a month or two … but regardless today is a good day. Common sense is making a comeback! @LibertariansNSW @RealMarkLatham @righttoclimb @BenFordhamLive @craigkellyAFEE @PennySharpemlc
