The Barmah Cattleman's Association has called for the sacking of the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council over its draft proposals paper on the river red gum forests investigation.
The cattleman's association has been a strong opponent of the report since its release in July, especially the section pertaining to the conversion of the Barmah forest into a national park, which would see the exclusion of cattle grazing.
The cattleman's association said VEAC had turned its back on honest consultation and taken a "one-eyed approach" to the investigation.
"VEAC has pre-determined objectives, to simply lock up public land into national parks," Barmah Cattleman's Association president Kelvin Trickey said.
"There is no alternative now but to immediately abandon the river red gum investigation and sack VEAC."
Mr Trickey said investigation should resume under an "honest, transparent commission" which included local representation and gave consideration to all the submissions sent to VEAC.
