NATIONAL PARKS ARE NOW “NATIONAL PARK” IN NAME ONLY. 
MEDIA RELEASE 8 November 2018 Alliance to Save Hinchinbrook Inc. ASH supports Cardwell in rejecting the Black Shoe Brigade.  WHITE SHOES 1990s BLACK SHOES 2018 The Palaszczuk government has invited the Black Shoe Brigade – Big Tourism - to take over business that belongs to the local village of Cardwell (invitation to EOI October 2018). Cardwell has already suffered from take-overs by the White Shoe Brigade (1990s) and the inevitable parasites who hang off their coats. It’s all about Cardwell’s relationship with:
Breaking a pre-election promise, the Palaszczuk government innovated the Nature Conservation Act to allow Big Tourism on Hinchinbrook Island (as boasted by Innovation Minister Kate Jones on ABC TV). Big Tourism disrespects village communities and their sustainable lifestyle and economy. Big Tourism would rob Cardwell, Lucinda and Dungeness of their economic and social connections with one of the world’s greatest treasures, and their greatest treasure, Hinchinbrook Island. Hinchinbrook Island’s wilderness value benefits Cardwell by generating tourism business for locals – but only while it remains a non-residential and low-visitation destination.

His principled thinking was important in establishing a representative basis for selection of new national parks. He had initiated this approach after moving from forestry work to the Forestry Department’s national park section, in 1963. The Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service (QNPWS) was not founded until 1975. Syd was QNPWS Director of Management and Operations and later (1992) Assistant Director (Policy and Legislation), retiring in 1988.

MEDIA RELEASE 17 October 2018 Alliance to Save Hinchinbrook Inc. Queensland Government wants built accommodation OUTSIDE resort lease – on self-reliant WILDERNESS walk! The last time we called HANDS OFF HINCHINBROOK! was in the 1990s – to protect Hinchinbrook Island from the depredations of white shoe brigader Keith Williams.
