The Tasmanian governement is broke, big time.

Not only is it broke, but IMO it is incompetent.

This has been coming for a couple of years now, a few councils have put up a good fight to not comply.

I know that in the Channel area, the rangers where told to look the other way for a 24 hour period.

However, there are hundreds of areas left here in Tasmania, where one can stop and camp for free.

Areas like Mayfield Bay, Gordon, Franklin, Port Huon all charge a nominal fee now.

Well the Tasmanian Government is a coalition with the Greens what do you expect.
The Greens have crippled Tasmania. Also it was the Greens actions that caused half the place to burn down.
