Reply With QuoteI couldn't sign it last night. Kept telling me the number was invalid. Just did it again now.
And this thread is about signing the e-petition and getting it on the review list which is what we ALL should want regardless of your party preference.

TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the proposed network of marine parks throughout Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone. The current process of establishing marine park boundaries has failed to include genuine consultation, and has failed to recognise that Queensland fisheries are already amongst the healthiest and best managed in the world, as highlighted in Queensland's Fish Stock Status reports over recent years.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to:
1. Urge the Federal Government to halt the current process of establishing marine parks in Queensland federal waters and to ensure that any future marine park boundaries are:
- based on science, and that this science be made available to all stakeholders;
- based on assessments of all risks to the environment by marine activities;
- accompanied by socio-economic research to show impacts on commercial fisheries, charter businesses, recreational anglers, and associated communities and industries, including tourism; and
- considerate of Australia's future food security needs.
2. Review the current marine national parks (MNPs) plans in Queensland state waters with a view to allowing sustainable recreational fishing activity in selected MNPs where environmental impacts are not significant, in line with the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
p.s 460+ views hopefully there is that many more signatures.

Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
Oh yeah only 139 signatures, that's piss poor. We need thousands on it.

I had already signed Timmi and MP Mark's petition Phill, but I recon encouraging people to sign it with the bait of something you know will not be delivered will just come back to bite you, and more than likely embarrass your buddy MP Mark. Potentially it could make this petition useless.
Well surprise surprise you're wrong again Lovely, that was decided by Campbell and stratigists just after the "leak", about 2 months earlier, and MP Mark got a spanking from his bosses at the time.Originally Posted by Lovey80

Had that been announced publicly? Had that been made LNP policy before that day? Your comment about Newman saying it is the first I have even heard about him ruling it out.

In life, start off wrong and you'll finish wrong. Put just one skeleton in the closet and you'll have to put another one in to hide the first, and so it goes.
But start off right and you'll finish right. There's no comeback when you stick to the truth - and no skeletons!
Bump it to the top...
Boys stop bickering over party lines, we are all on one side here and that is to bring to the attentiion of which ever self serving , lobby group focused pollie is in power , that we are at least watching what they are doing to our fisheries. Divided we fall, Stand together as a strong voice and we have a chance to be listened to
