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.
I see your point but they've said some people can surf and some can't anyway. "If you are an experienced surfer, you can go to your local break. If you’re not experienced, don’t surf."
Just gotta breaaatthhhhe mate and see what happens.
