Environmental Protection (Great Barrier Reef Protection Measures) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
Environmental Protection (Great Barrier Reef Protection Measures) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
Dear Members,
Copy of email forwarded today to the Premier, Ministers & all current members of Queensland Parliament is set out below including email listing.
KCGO encourages members to take a stand and individually voice their opposition to proposed amendments to the Environmental Protection (Great Barrier Reef Protection Measures) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 by copying and pasting the email body and forward to any or all politicians from the list below.
If you have any queries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the KCGO office.
“Dear Premier,
Despite a series of public consultations which were well represented by a broad spectrum of agricultural industries, it is disappointing to note this important sector’s view point was largely ignored by the Innovation, Tourism Development and Environment Committee, with the committee recommending the Environmental Protection (Great Barrier Reef Protection Measures) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 be passed unchanged.
Sources such as the 2017 Scientific Consensus Statement and evidence/recommendations contained within have been utilised in part to determine policy objectives to be introduced by the Bill. This statement has been prepared by a ‘panel of scientists with expertise in GBR water quality science and management’. These scientists ‘have reviewed and synthesised the significant advances in scientific knowledge of water quality issues in the Great Barrier Reef’ via a combination of qualitative, semi-quantitative assessments and Paddock to Reef Integrated Monitoring, Modelling and Reporting Program.
This leads to the question what are the quality assurance processes in place for environmental/marine science compared to that applied by other areas of science eg. medical and pharmaceuticals? “The Peer review system is known to be biased, unjust, unaccountable, incomplete, easily fixed, often insulting, usually ignorant, occasionally foolish and frequently wrong.” Horton 2000.
