Protest Rally Northside and Southside Brisbane

[BAIT_MAN]

PROTEST RALLY..............(Tow, tow, tow your boat)

Have you got the gumption to stand up for your right to take the kids fishing?.....if you have the ticker then hitch up the boat,
put the kids in the car and lend us an hour of your time on Saturday 2nd. Join the convoy, dress up your boat, car with slogans
or maybe tie an old sheet to your roof, with message on it, so the news choppers will pick it up?
Don't let your mates fight this battle for you - "Moreton Bay has gotta stay"

Date...................................Saturday September 2nd 2006

Assembly Location..............Clontarf Beach Boat Ramp Area (Pelican Park)

Assembly Time....................from 0900 am

Departure Time.....................Convoy will depart Clontarf at 1000 am

Reason................................To protest against the closure of Moreton Bay to family recreational fishing

Route - We head in on Horinbrook Hwy, Deagon Deviation then Gateway Motorway, left down Kingsford Smith Drv, Breakfast Creek Rd,
then up Ann St, veer left down Queen St, left into Eagle St, up Mary St then a quick left into Edward St then swing into

PROTEST RALLY SOUTHSIDE

Date...................................Saturday September 2nd 2006

Assembly Location..............William Street Cleveland Boat Ramp Area

Assembly Time....................from 0900 am

Departure Time.....................Convoy will depart Cleveland at 1000 am

Reason................................To protest against the closure of Moreton Bay to family recreational fishing

Route - Head in along Old Cleveland Rd, straight up O'Keefe St, then right onto Ipswich Rd, then keep left and over the Story Bridge,

I tell you what Shane, as an employer I find that rather a stupid comment for a responsible future or potential politician to make. In fact I think you should retract it and apologise.

I'm sure Shane meant it tongue in cheek.

As for the sickie, my boss is an Ausfish member and reads the chat boards.

G'day Brian Don't worry, I won't pull the sickie - I love my job

[Hornblower]

I will be sure to e-mail the pollies on the day, if there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

Power to the people

[Jeremy]

I will be there with the hilux and tinny. I honestly hope that LOTS of other people come along and make this a worthwhile rally and a real show of strength. We will look bad if we only get a few along. Don't leave it to others to be there, do it for yourself and your kids.

Shane,

I have put it onto our electronic bulletin board at work. Don't know how much interest it will create but it is out there.

None of my business hornblower... but can your wife(if you have one) or significant other tow your boat (or even drive your car) for you? I dunno... just a suggestion mate. If not then Shane also needs people on polling day - can you spare a couple of hours? If so contact Mitch (redspeckle) hes organising that side of things.

Thanks for your support - just showing real support on this thread also helps!! Keep up the good work Champ!
