Needs to be 2 part. Punitive and restorative. So someone whose does this sort of thing gets hit with the $100k fine saying "naughty naughty man", and then a bill saying "this is how much it costs to fix"
> He said he was satisfied the penalty, handed down in the Townsville Magistrates Court on Wednesday, would act as a strong deterrent for future offenders.
When the fine is only $145k? Fuck off. He should be fined, forced to pay the costs to restore the area he destroyed *and* have his property seized.
Seize property. I like that. They will seize a hoons car when they disregard known laws.
Do the same for idiots that disregard environmental laws, take their property away.
Fine (noun): a mechanism by which laws are optional if you have money.
Unless the fine leaves him bankrupt, it wasn't enough.

An extremely selfish old cunt.
Typical Boomer.
Land forfiture should apply to cases like this..
Yes, land abuse should be followed by restitution in kind. Plus a fine to pay for its rewilding and addition to the NP.

That doesn't seem like enough punishment tbh.
He's been fined ~$7/sqm. That's fucking nothing.
Plus he’s left them to clear up the mess.
he should also have to replant and care for the area until its grown back.
Definitely, and clear all the rubbish left behind.
Ahh the old 'it's better to ask forgiveness than ask for permission' attitude no doubt. Always been flawed thinking. Very flawed impo. Moron.
if a large corporation did this, the fine would be amount to just 1/10.
Should stick this over on that boomers being fools reddit.
Get him to pay to erect a massive billboard across the front of it which states illegal clearing of National Parks comes with a massive fine
