MUST READ

Director General of Education in Queensland has trouble

deciding shoelace compliance

If your child is having trouble with school uniform compliance

don't expect the Director General of Education Queensland to be of any help.

The Director General can't even decide on shoelace compliance.

A Major Pedestrian Safety Issue on Brisbane's suburban footpaths



BEWARE Second Dual Gauge Freight Line is planned to access Fisherman Islands Port through Brisbane's Eastern and Southern Suburbs.

When the existing Dual Gauge Rail Line was built in most cases only back yards were resumed thus the noise from the freight trains was even closer to residential homes.

We expect that the second Dual Gauge Rail Line will require the resumption of most residential properties on the northern / western side of the existing Dual Gauge Line from Acacia Ridge through to Wynnum North.


Energex SUX

Why you may ask?

They have no publicly available Public Consultation Policy Document.

WRITTEN RESPONSE

Why do we want it?

So we can tell when they are not following policy.

What is wrong with ENERGEX present consultation?

Their vision of consultation is to tell you what they have decided to do to YOU
and you most probably have no chance in changing their decision.

We have a copy of the Queensland Labor Government Policy Document on Consultation.

Please e-mail us requests for a .pdf copy.


Quote of the week:

As Øystein Dahle, former Exxon vice president for Norway and the North Sea, observes, "Socialism collapsed because it did not allow prices to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow prices to tell the ecological truth."

 

Quote of the decade:

Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman, an economist or just a politician.  


Top Issues of the month


Energex decided before any consultation with local residents to place a new 33/110 kv power line near residents at Wynnum North on Brisbane's East.

Caltex Oil Refinery Clean Fuel Project Community Submissions March 2004


NO Golf Course in Bulimba Creek Wetlands

On Monday 3 Feb 2003 The Civic Cabinet of the Brisbane City Council (Queensland Labor Party) approved a submission to build a new golf course and 160 houses on BCC sport and recreation land at Cannon Hill.

This land adjoins Conservation Zoned land which is inhabited by Australia most dense colony of Squirrel Glider Possums.

The land on which the Golf Course is proposed is mainly a Conservation Grade Wetland / Flood Plain and much of the remaining land is covered by tree canopy and is prime Squirrel Glider land.

Many trees will be lost and any replanted trees will need to be at least 200 years old to produce hollows which provide homes for Squirrel Glider Possums.
