Recently a successful meeting was held in Cairns by Queensland Party members with our leader Aiden McLindon and the living legend Bob Irwin due to the Queensland Party and Aiden's continued public opposition to the dangers of the current CSG process. As a result both men attended the Tara blockade resulting in Bob Irwin being arrested for contravening a direction.
This is an absolute farce that Bob Irwin has to front court yet the people responsible for allowing this process to go on when they don't know the chemicals being used in the fracking process, let alone the potential impacts on the Great Artesian Basin.
The Queensland Party moved a motion in Queensland parliament calling for a moratorium until the safety issues were addressed. Both the current ALP government AND the opposition LNP voted against the moratorium. These parties were more interested in the royalty $ then the possibly irreversible damage that could be caused, the loss of potential viable farmland and land owners rights being trampled into the ground.
