I know I sent him a letter campaigning against the proposed parks. Just goes to show how much this pillock has his finger on the pulse and is paying attention to what is written on the letters he receives. 

Hi,

You have previously written to me regarding the Government’s network of marine reserves.

Labor has created the World’s largest network of marine parks around Australia to protect our precious oceans.

Earlier this month a plan by the Liberal Party to stop these marine parks failed in the House of Representatives. But the Liberal Party has again moved to stop those marine national parks in the Senate.

Senator Richard Colbeck - who was also the principle advocate in the Parliament for the super trawler  -  has moved to disallow the marine national park management plans in the Senate.

This is the final hurdle for our marine parks.  

In the next 15 Senate sitting days, members of the Senate will vote on whether to protect our precious oceans, from the Coral Sea to the South West marine region.

I know many of you have been campaigning for ocean protection for many, many years. This final hurdle is crucial

Can you share this email with your friends and family? The best thing we can do to protect our oceans is make sure as many people as possible know about Tony Abbott’s and Richard Colbeck’s plans to scrap marine parks.

Labor will be voting to protect the environment.

Under John Howard, the Liberal Party used to support protecting the ocean in this way and implemented marine national parks in the Great Barrier Reef and the south east of our oceans and rejected a super trawler proposal.

Under Tony Abbott, the Liberals and Nationals want to say no to anything that involves protecting the oceans. They want to abolish national parks in the oceans and invite the super trawler back as soon as they can.

They have even moved to abolish the management plan for the one marine national park which was established under the Howard Government.

There are two futures on offer at the upcoming federal election: Tony Abbott’s is about plundering the oceans, ours will protect them.

Share this email with your friends and family, and we can ensure that our oceans are protected forever.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Burke
