Take action - contact the party leaders

As the Queensland state election draws near, our political leaders will be particularly sensitive to calls from the community for action on key issues. This is a time when your voice is incredibly powerful and you can use that power to help protect the best of Queensland's environment.

Email the Party Leaders

The best thing you can do right now, which will only take a minute, is to email Premier Anna Bligh and Liberal-National Party Leader Campbell Newman, letting them know that they must protect the best of Queensland's environment.

QLD's Top 5 Environment Priorities

Don't forget to mention Queensland's top 5 environmental priorities in your email:

1. Safeguard our forests and control landclearing

2. Preserve our unique wild rivers

3. Apply strong environmental controls on mining development

4. World Heritage protection for Cape York Peninsula

5. Save our marine life from overfishing

We'll be providing more actions and contacts here to keep the pressure on the politicians as the campaign progresses.

We've also put together "Action Packs" for people wanting to step up their activism a notch and blitz the politicians with environmental messages.
