In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson ( Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions. Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All Australians In NSW National Parks . Please consider signing it. Only NSW residents can sign. Non-NSW residents can still have there say by messaging the NSW Environment Minister directly here. Hosted on Acast.
