Bligh buys Cape York station for more national park

29 Sep, 2009 09:49 AM
Strathmay Station on the Cape York Peninsula has been purchased by the Queensland government for $4.62 million and will become a national park.

The Australian Financial Review reports that vendors John and Kelli Kozicka bought the 121,406 hectare station six years ago for about $2 million.

They have now sold the land without cattle.

Why, oh, why, is Anna Blight buying more land for National Parks when the economy is so bad that she has to SELL our hard-won, money earning assets and research centres? Remember, we used to have a Tropical Dairy research centre, a grains research centre, thousands of hectares of plantation forests, rail freight, and the list goes on and on and on. This new national park is good news? If things are so bad she has to sell all of our assets, surely new acquisitions should be in the "Not Now" category?
