The news that hunters will soon have expanded access to Kosciuszko National Park is being supported by Minister for the Environment Robyn Parker.

She says that National Parks officers undertake pest control activities regularly currently, and that the new plan will assist them in this.

The move was made as part of a deal between the Shooters Party and the O'Farrell government in exchange for the Shooter's support of the sale of state-owned electricity assets.

Minister Parker says that's just the nature of politics, sometimes.

The most recent draft of the Murray Darling Basin plan is practically identical to the previous iteration, according to Deputy Leader of the Nationals in the Senate Fiona Nash.

She says the government is ignoring the twelve thousand submissions that were received on the plan, and that it could be improved substantially.

She says that it makes a mockery of the Prime Minister's demands that Australia become a foodbowl to Asia.

Greens NSW Firearms Spokesperson David Shoebridge is expressing his disbelief at the deal struck between the O'Farrell Government and the Shooters Party, that will see hunters given expanded access to national parks, including areas of Kosciuszko.

Most surprisingly, says Mr Shoebridge, is the blatant and open nature of the deal, in which O'Farrell has openly given the increased hunting access to the Shooters Party, in acknowledged exchange for their vote to help pass legislation backing the sale of state electricity generators.

Mr. Shoebridge says that O'Farrell has sold out his voters, and that the situation is shameless.
