MRRA Asks Federal Lower House Candidates:  What Will You Do To Protect Macedon Ranges?

(13/8/10 - FG)  With the Victorian State government pushing growth into Macedon Ranges, MRRA turns to Federal politicians for help.  Family First and the Greens are the first to respond, with a very positive answers. 

 

MRRA also submitted a question to the Boobook Declaration Steering Committee in Canberra, which is focussing on the Year of Biodiversity, and which is submitting a list of questions to the leaders of political parties asking them about biodiversity issues.  We are pleased to say that MRRA's question about protecting areas with high biodiversity from over-population and over-development made the list at Question #16.  You can find out more about the Boobook Declaration by going to http://www.boobook.org.au/declaration.htm
