Should you pay to access national parks?

from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Camping in NSW national parks could soon cost more under a major proposal to standardise fees across the state. Supporters say it will improve facilities and reduce no-shows, but others fear it will make nature less accessible. For the first time, many basic and remote sites could carry a price tag. The changes raise bigger questions about how we value public land and who gets to enjoy it.
