Crowd protests against hunting in national parks NSW Police estimated approximately 3000 people gathered outside the NSW Parliament on Macquarie St to protest against proposed legislature changes which will allow hunting in National Parks / Pic: Chris McKeen Source: The Daily Telegraph FOR a moment, the thousand-strong crowd protesting hunting in NSW national parks caught a glimpse of one of the men they came to see. Shooters and Fishers Party MP Robert Brown stood on the steps of Parliament and watched the crowd chanting against him, his colleague Robert Borsak, and Premier Barry O'Farrell. After flipping the bird at protesters, he watched the rally unfold from inside. A couple of people along the fence were using foul language. They thought I was Robert Borsak. I didn't want to cause a scene so I went inside," Mr Brown said. The rally was organised by the National Parks and Wildlife Association, the Public Service Association, and was addressed by former Greens leader Bob Brown and former state environment minister Bob Debus. Children were dressed as native animals, and the speakers argued against allowing amateur hunters access to national parks. Mr O'Farrell signed off on a deal to allow the Game Council to supervise recreational hunting in 79 national parks, in order to get the support of the Shooters and Fishers Party for the sale of the state's electricity generators. After a Game Council employee was charged with illegal hunting, Mr O'Farrell ordered a review of the Game Council's governance, which is due next month. Mr Brown accused the Premier of putting children and families at risk. "We go out into the wild to find ourselves, we don't go out into the wild to find bullets and guns, Barry O'Farrell," Mr Brown said.
