Protesting cattlemen face $75,000 in fines
10 Jan 2006
A group of 100 protesting cattlemen herding their stock through Victoria’s Alpine National Park were confronted by senior park rangers on Sunday who took names and warned the men that they faced on-the-spot fines of $1048 per head up to $75,000 in total. The Victorian government said it expected the protestors would be fined if they continued to break the law, whilst the cattlemen indicated they would not be paying any fines. The protest is due to finish today at Wonnangatta Station.
