The Save the Mary River Coordinating Committee are organising a protest outside the conference of the ruling Labor Party this coming Saturday to save the Mary River, its community and rich agricultural soil together and rare endangered species in the area including the Lungfish, the Mary River Perch and the Mary River Turtle.
Sacrifice June 21 and stand with us to Save our Mary…
(We know the trip to the Gold Coast is awkward and a big day but the Mary needs you to make it.)
- Join us at the Cascade Gardens on the Gold Coast to march at 11.00am to the Gold Coast Convention Centre to tell the Qld State Labor Party Convention that there will be no dam at Traveston Crossing or anywhere else on the Mary River.*
Yes … we do have cause for optimism! Whether people have sold, moved, or just held on, we all know that even the most elementary research shows that the proposed dam at Traveston Crossing on the Mary is just plain wrong. The Qld Govt has no support for this project outside its own - and there is very good reason to believe that many within their ranks do not support it either. We need to give them encouragement to say no to this dam!
Prime Minister Rudd, Peter Garrett, and Penny Wong must assist Qld out of this Beattie made mess!
