2007 is over, Christmas has passed and the lights have been taken down. We have seen in a new year, made our new years resolutions (how are they holding up?)

Here at Coastal Rights we have resolved to turn up the heat and are looking forward to the battles ahead.

2008 is a week old and yesterday government offices returned back from the break.

So let the games begin!!

During the last couple of weeks the front page of the website has been very quiet but the forum has been busy so if you haven't been keeping up now would be a good time to take a look. 

Later today (right here) I'll be adding some exciting information all Australians need to be aware of. So if you have ever been unhappy with the direction our governments are taking us.

Keep watching.

The committee members of Coastal Rights Association would like to take the opportunity to thank all our members and supporters, a wonderful Christmas. Your support throughout the year has been greatly appreciated.

It is the time of year when all the government departments shut down for the holidays, so it's time for us to spend some well earned time with our loved ones to catch our breath, recharge our batteries and then prepare for the battle ahead.

Much has happened during 2007, we have made a great deal of progress.

The new year promises to be even busier, the time has come to unify all groups affected by the governments narrow minded, biased and environmentally damaging policy. Till now we have been individual groups raising our voice but being ignored.

Although our problems may be different, when you take a closer look it is amazing how much we have in common. United we will be heard.

Minorities and Ministers beware.

A couple of weeks ago we brought to your attention the sad state of the Moruya Break wall. Nothing has been done as yet and although there hasn't been any rough weather since then it is now much worse, more photos soon.

It is now clear that the wall in Moruya is not the only one in urgent need of repair. As these  photos (taken yesterday) at Hanging Rock, show.

MEDIA RELEASE

“SNOWY BRUMBIES UNDER THREAT”

Last week National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) placed their Horse Management Plan Draft (HMP) for Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) on public exhibition.

Our review confirms that this plan is extremely biased in its presentation and we highlight that it fails to mention-

·         The cultural heritage value of the Snowy Brumby

·         The Brumbies legendary and iconic status in the eyes of the Australian public

·         That these Brumbies are the descendants of a large contingent of horses that were shipped overseas and faithfully served our troops in the Sudan Campaign, Boer War, Great War and second World War and were never allowed to return

·         The Brumbies tourism value and subsequent contribution to the economy

·         The positive benefits of the Brumby grazing native grasses, the resultant fuel load reduction and sweeter grass for all wildlife

Other critical deficiencies exposed in the plan are-
