The 2012 election represents a major crossroads for environmental protection in Queensland. Will Queensland continue on a forward looking path or will we witness the undoing of such significant achievements?
With the region currently being considered for World Heritage and National Heritage listing, we have written to Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke requesting urgent intervention to ensure that high natural and cultural values are not destroyed while community consultation for these listings is underway.
The Brisbane Campaign Centre has moved to a new address: 67 Boundary Street (upstairs from the chiropractor), West End. Our postal, telephone and email details remain unchanged.
In a momentous win for Australian conservation, the mighty rivers of western Queensland's Lake Eyre Basin - Cooper Creek, Georgina river and Diamantina river - have been protected under Queensland's Wild Rivers Act.
