My opinion is they have to have a NATIONAL policy to keep it simple. Someone living in a city who only hunts occasionally and has to drive 1 or 2 hours to even get to the hills is the kind of hunter the government are probably thinking about. It would get too complicated if they said some people can hunt , some people cant hunt. It sucks for those of us with the hills on our doorstep, one size doesn't fit all but it would be a clusterfuck to have different rules for different people. For example they have said day walks on easy trails and the internet has gone nuts saying everyones allowed to go tramping! A day walk and an easy trail means different things to someone who does an occasional walk on a well manicured track to someone who can bash 25km in the scrub for a day in the bush. It would have been clearer to say no hiking.
