Australia | New NSW enviro minister's to-dos: feral horses in Kosciuszko NP, expand NPs if possible
Matt Kean, the new NSW Minister for Energy and Environment, has kicked off his role by inspecting the impact of feral horses on the Kosciuszko National Park and promising to expand the national park estate where possible.
His visit, though, coincided with the release of analysis by Rob Dick, who headed the state's national parkland acquisition program from 1996-2012. It showed the creation of new parks all but dried up during the past eight years of the Coalition government.
