The first thing I ever heard of Tony Abbott trying to do once he got into power was hand one of Australias and the worlds most iconic natural beauties over to the non-renewable resources industry – Gina Rinehart, coal seam gas (CSG).
“I’d work for $2/day, and so should you. Your job: get fracking”
His plan is to secure Gina a permit to frack Abott Point. Abott Point is situated 25K north of Bowen, QLD. She will also be allowed to legally, deliberately, dump all of the toxic and general waste into the Great Barrier Reef, in another section of it, thus killing it off even faster.
Lively coral on the left, death and emptiness on the right, and an unimpressed looking guy. he seems to be holding a nice camera. I hope his livelihood isn’t about to be destroyed.
As informed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority the area to be fracked and the area for the fracking waste to be dumped are both inside and a part of the Great Barrier Reef – a national treasure and a world heritage site since 1981. It [the toxic waste dumping ground] is also 50Ks from the Whitsundays (a very gorgeous place to be. For now.).
Which would you be proud to have as your national heritage?
Which one would you pay to see in person?
Does it even need to be said that this will cause the already fragile ecosystem down there to die? The entire coral reef will cease to exist.
Marlin: “Honey, they’re taking our home, it’s time to move out”.
Mary: ‘But Marl, Coral is the only home we can survive in, where else could we go?”
Marlin: “…fu**”.
This decision – aka the granter of grants to do whatnots with the GBF – was made by Federal MP Minister for the Environment (and Flinders Victoria) Mr. Greg Hunt . What a coincidence his name also rhymes with his personality.
According to Queensland Resources Council chief executive Michael Roche, the decision to frack the GBR out existance is a fantatsic one, and according to the Brisbane Times he claims he has used the weight of scientific evidence to put us ahead of “increasingly hysterical environmental activists”.
“Wow, wow, back up the truck, what did you just call us? Penny stay back, I’ll take care of this.”

Goodbye my love, for tomorrow, I can no longer come here, and the next day, you will be dead”.
If you are in QLD, let them know you don’t approve of your states tourism going down due to these plans. If you’re an Aussie let these guys know you don’t approve of your national heritage being destroyed. If you’re not an aussie, let these guys know if your not ok with this happening, and how it affects your visiting plans and your impression of Australians.
The Mandarin Fish. Guess Iron Man Fish won’t have to worry about you anymore.
You can also petition here: https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/coal-seam-gas/great-barrier-reef/save-the-reef. We only have January left to stop this from happening.
Please help us stop this. It’s not too late, not yet. Please help.

I was looking forward to going to the reef this year. Too bad, we’re closed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I’d have that face to if I was in his position. Oh, wait…technically I am.
