Hi all, please read the following and supprt us fisherpersons regarding this matter. Scotto
THE FUTURE OF THE GREAT SANDY MARINE PARK DEPENDS ON YOU!!!
The Government is about to finalize the Great Sandy Strait Marine Park legislation. The draft Plan proposed continued netting and trawling in the Great Sandy Strait while imposing serious restrictions on Recreational Anglers and other Marine Park users. Submissions made by recreational anglers and allied supporting groups have had an impact on the thinking of the legislators. Sunfish believes that at this time, it is essential to remind the Premier and all his Cabinet that there will be a lot of very angry people in the Wide Bay and Queensland who will not forget at the next election if they proceed to restrict line fishing anglers and other Marine Park Users, but allow continued destruction by netting and trawling.
Sunfish Fraser Coast request you do two things:
1.Send an email to the Premier and all his Cabinet Ministers advising them that you are concerned at the Governments attempt to discriminate against recreational anglers and other Marine Park users, and
2.Send this email on to as many friends as possible asking them to do the same, as well. Don’t worry if they are outside the Wide Bay area as the more you can get to make a submission the more impact it will have.
1.Send an email to the Premier and all his Cabinet Ministers by:
a. Open a new Email. Copying the email addresses below (Premier and Cabinet Members) into the address section [or the "To" section] of that email.
Premiers@ministerial.qld.gov.au; DeputyPremier@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Attorney@ministerial.qld.gov.au; CandDS@ministerial.qld.gov.au; ChildSafety@ministerial.qld.gov.au; DPI@ministerial.qld.gov.au; EducationAndArts@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Emergency@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Energy@ministerial.qld.gov.au; ETIR@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Health@ministerial.qld.gov.au; NRM@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Police@ministerial.qld.gov.au; PWHR@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Tourism@ministerial.qld.gov.au; Transport@ministerial.qld.gov.au; ELGPW@ministerial.qld.gov.au
