Idiotic: OZschwitz hunters would be allowed to use silencers on their guns while shooting in national parks

HUNTERS would be allowed to use silencers on their guns while shooting feral animals in national parks to minimise the disturbance to other users under plans being developed by the state government.

The proposal, part of a leaked draft risk assessment report, would require a significant loosening of the prohibition on the use of silencers in NSW, which is designed to prevent them falling into criminal hands.

But the revelation has drawn strong opposition from the Police Minister, Mike Gallacher, who was not consulted about the plan and says he does not want existing restrictions to change.

Justin McKee, the campaign co-ordinator with the National Parks Association of NSW, said silencers were a safety risk because they removed people's awareness that hunting was taking place nearby. ''If people can't hear it, they don't know it's going on,'' he said.

The Environment Minister, Robyn Parker, is overseeing preparation of the assessment by the Office of Environment and Heritage before declaring 77 national parks and reserves open for amateur hunting of feral animals from May.

The draft risk assessment, dated this month, raises concerns that the ''passive or tranquil recreation'' sought by bushwalkers, picnickers and bird watchers in national parks would be shattered by hunters discharging their firearms nearby.

It classifies the risk as ''possible but low'' and says the solution is to allow hunters to use silencers to muffle the sound.
