Australians show strong support for national parks after Great Northern beer boycott

A recent survey shows that nearly 75% of Australians support the creation of more national parks. This finding comes after a boycott of Great Northern beer, which faced backlash for fundraising to expand these parks. The boycott led the beer's parent company to halt its plans. The survey, conducted by Monash University, found broad support for national parks across political lines. Only 5% of respondents opposed their creation. This contrasts with the vocal opposition from some outdoor enthusiasts who feel restricted by park regulations. Great Northern beer remains popular, but the boycott has sparked debate about the term "woke" in Australia. The company's decision to backtrack on its national park support has drawn mixed reactions, with some accusing it of overreacting to the backlash.
