Going to do my bit.

[Mike Delisser]

better to try and fail than not try at all...but at least hopefully some of the general public might get an idea of whwta is going on.

As for votes..a fishing vote is a non entity..never has been and never will be and in Qld..unless there is some decent opposition then this Govt will do what they want..just take a look at Health again..just let some mental patient out and he kills his daughter..very sad indictment on the society we have..only 2 people to blame for the tragedy that has happened to that family..the premier and The Health Minister..the buck stops with them.

Good work Greg, and I notice you still never let a chance go by. The RSPCA will be on to you soon if you continue to flog that dead horse.

I had a look at the hard copy of the draft plan and maps today, and a little misleading I think. The maps which I assume will be put up in bait shops, tackle shops, seafood outlets ect ect have the green zones marked but the map legend discribes them as "sand extraction" whatever that means. You have to look it up in the hard copy to learn that it means no fishing. No very helpful if Jo Public is looking at the poster (map) in a shop window. It should read "no fishing or extraction" if the idea is to inform the public of the proposed plan, or is this the whole idea.
Cheers

Opps, I now notice there are two maps in the kit and one of those has the green zones marked as "Marine National Parks" .
Cheers

A little bit from everyone all adds up in the end. If everyone was handing out flyers on the same day, wouldn't that be sweat.

Been reading a fair bit from you regarding the future of Moreton bay of late,Greg.
Just wondering how your one man assault went down?
How many fliers did you distribute at how many locations, over what sort of time period and please give us an overview of the responses received.
Thought you were all hot air and full of it till I saw this thread,so good onya for actually getting out and constructively doing something other than talk.

The funniest thing is that over half the guys whinging and pating you on the back voted this bias government in. we should be recording catch rates in the bay so to show the health of the bay. i think a incease in bag limits and a increase in legal lenghts eg. snapper bag 5 up to 10. size 35 up to 45 this alone will help the productivity and the substainablity of the bay and surrounding reef systems. i like your flyer and hope it helps the cause.

So when and where do we invite the media

So when and where do we invite the media

just send along some of the "journos" from B&B...that should do the trick.

Great initiatives blokes but while it's good to can the EPA as they are the dept moving this garbage and you can rest assured that several depts including legal are watching this site, don't forget to concentrate some effort where it really counts.
The EPA reps are just the puppets and have no problem at all taking anything you care to throw at them.
The Governments both State and Federal are where the weaknesses lie, if you can do enough name and shame along with easy to understand information, including in the media they will eventually pull strings or at least give a chance for some practicality, even giving the opposition or anyone else with an axe to grind as much info will help.
State will deny any involvement or influence and so will Federal but if they are given enough stick they will react, of course it is extremely important to be polite and curteous, both to the media and all politicians but the buck stops with them.
It will not matter one iota in the end what your alternative proposals are unless you are putting pressure on the honcho who actually makes the final decision but at this time I would suspect it has already been made and the decision is a formality.
Whatever happens it's great to see some people standing up and accepting the challenge, good one, still think you need to be sponsoring a political party.

Still waiting to hear,pinhead .

[PinHead]

still waiting for permission from various outlets to place flyers in their premises..if not then i will take another approach.

not worth a cracker for anyone to respond to me..i want them to respond to the EPA.

4 weeks to not gain permission to stand around and hand out a few flyers.....
7th of march submissions close,dont they?.
"going to do my bit" you say...
Seems its all to easy to pretend to fight an invisible target through meaningless words on a keyboard I reckon.

some of us also have businesses to run..but then it is also a lot easier to just sit at the keyboard and critcise..add the over 50 letters i have sent off...but all I can do is offer you the middle digit salute.

I think that there is a need for green zones in Moreton bay.Quite happy for it to unfold as it will no doubt happen.
The only person I am criticizing is you.
Do you really think your 50 letters are going to make one shred of difference to the outcome......I actually thought when you posted this thread that you were actually going to do something constructive other than your usual indignant babble.
But no....just plenty more hot air..

Interested to know why?
