Het verzoekschrift is gericht aan: Parks Tasmania

Richard Bennett has photographed the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race for over 50 years. For the past decade, he has shot the race from a helicopter. He waits on Tasman Island for the boats to approach, lifting off to capture the yachts against the dramatic backdrop of Tasmania's rugged coastline. This year, the helicopter company that has the license to land on Tasman has been forced to sell their helicopters due to the loss of a government tender. Richard is seeking a 3-day license from Parks Tasmania to land on Tasman to photograph the race. They have rejected the request. Support Richard to seek a review of the request so he can capture the images you love for the 80th Sydney-Hobart.

Reden

Richard's mission has been to photograph every yacht in every race, illustrating the incredible journey of yachties across the Bass Strait. This year marks the 80th Sydney to Hobart, with a fleet of 140+ boats. If Richard cannot land on Tasman, many yachts will miss out on an image, and or, have an image that does not feature the Tasmanian coastline. The additional air time to fly back and forth to the Tasmanian mainland will also increase the cost of photographing the race significantly, and drive up the price of yacht race images.

Waarom mensen ondertekenen

Citizens must demand of Government Agencies that they support the people they purport to serve. Unelected bureaucrats should be held to account when they arbitrarily work against the best interests of the taxpayers who pay their salaries. Richard Bennett's iconic yachting photos serve Tasmania and Australia and his efforts should be supported and encouraged.

Richard is a professional photographer and a excellent person he should have access.

It would be fabulous for someone to capture images of just what this race entails… the courage, team spirit, scary bits, joy and the beauty of the surroundings.

Parks Tasmania should have common sense and a sense of history and support this great Tasmanian tradition which is an important part of the tourism industry which pays their wages.
