"But the State Government will go ahead with its plan to allow volunteer hunters in national parts as part of a pest control program.

A trial of the controversial plan to allow volunteer hunters will begin in 12 parks in October.

NSW Environment Minister Robyn Parker says the trial will be regulated and managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and there will be strict controls and supervision.

"Only those volunteers who have the equivalent qualifications, experience and training as national parks staff will be able to participate," Ms Parker said."

Well talk about smoke and mirrors to stop the hunting in Nat Parks. Controlled by those who do not want and actively campaigned against hunters in the NP. They also have to have the Quals, experience and training as NP staff. Sort of cuts out more than 99% of those who wanted to hunt in the NP. "Experience" what experience and how much of it do the NP staff have.
