Anti-free trade OZschwitz Greens seek to undermine productive grazing and logging in otherwise useless national parks

The party will move to list national parks as areas of national environmental significance, giving them the same protection as threatened species and World Heritage Areas.

''Australians would be surprised and alarmed to learn that our national parks are not protected federally and there is nothing to stop state and territory leaders from destroying these precious places,'' Greens leader Christine Milne said.

''National parks account for less than 4 per cent of Australia's land mass, yet the state and territory governments are intent on destroying these areas with grazing in Queensland, shooting in NSW and logging in Tasmania.''
