16.01.2022 A big THANKYOU to the 600 people that watched the Election Environment Debate - the video has now been viewed by 9600 people. Thank you also to our panelists Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch, Shadow Environment Minister David Crisafuli and Greens MP for Maiwar Michael Berkman. The big news during the debate was the commitment from the ALP for a 2020-30 Climate Action Plan if re-elected and they will investigate the return to a stand-alone Environment Protection Agency. Th...e LNP said they "would not repeal the land-clearing laws to go back to where they were under Campbell Newman" and "were committed to Queensland being a state party to the Paris Accords and meeting and exceeding our Paris commitments". https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=806862316741335

Will you email your state MP now to call on them and their party commit the funding needed to build a world class protected area system. https://www.queenslandconservation.org.au/4life Authorised by Louise Matthiesson, Director Queensland Conservation Council 1/377 Montague Rd West End, Qld 4101
