Peter Bethune Backs TQP's Call for CSG Moratorium
International Conservation Activist Throws Support Behind
The Queensland Party
Today, Peter Bethune, internationally acclaimed conservation
activist and world record holder for the fastest trip around the
world in the powerboat 'Ady Gil' (formerly 'Earthrace'), will
join Queensland Party Leader, Aidan McLindon and Kevin Brown, TQP
candidate for Southport, to support the party's call for a
moratorium on the flawed coal seam gas industry which is being
steamrolled across Queensland.
"Whether we like it or not, the CSG industry will have dire
consequences for all Queenslanders in terms of food security,
environmental damage and reduced economic prosperity into the
future," Mr McLindon stated.
The ALP/LNP rejected The Queensland Party's call for a moratorium
on coal seam gas which was debated in the Queensland Parliament
on 24 November 2010 and media outlets have since sighted vested
interests within LNP ranks.
"Future generations will look back on this impending era of greed
and destruction and wonder why we, as a collective, did not do
anything to prevent it from destroying our quality land for
hundreds of years to come," said Mr McLindon.
"When you violate mother nature to this extent it will always
come back to bite you."
"The next state election will be a clear choice between The
Queensland Party which only exists to serve Queenslanders or the
ALP/LNP which are there to serve themselves."
Another high profile advocate to support The Queensland Party's
call for a moratorium, Bob Irwin, was arrested in Tara on 12
April 2011.
British Gas is currently the largest company involved in the $66
billion industry.
