Gary,
Thanks for your information you have provided. I think what you failed to mention in your summary for the political parties is this:
1. The current libs and nationals at the federal level are responible for the debacle in the Great Barrier reef marine park. So they won't be any help.
2. Labor certainly haven't gone form the workers party to the greenies party. Who is standing up to Howard on his anti-worker legislation? Labor is.
I agree with the seniment everyone is dispalying towards any proposed closure of moreton bay.
Just thought I would add my comment about your summary of the political parties.
