CCA member Russell Constable with partner Sara Dobson in Brisbane to accept the 'Champion of conservation' award
"As Many of you know I went down to Brisbane to accept my Queensland Conservation Council   "Champion of conservation" award from Minister  Powell a couple of  days ago.
 
Within my short speech I gently reminded Minister Powell that his government had emasculated the Queensland Environmental Defenders Office, a place where ordinary citizens can obtain information regarding using the law to protect Queensland's  natural environment". 

I am very upset that  the Queensland LNP Government has disempowered its North Queensland citizens in  such a shameful manner, especially as we  have so much that is worth protecting.
I am very upset that  the Queensland LNP Government has disempowered its North Queensland citizens in  such a shameful manner, especially as we have so much that is worth protecting.

I am angry that  Cairns and North Queensland have lost the services of EDO lawyer Patrick Pearlman (who nominated me for the award), a gentleman who helped many  citizens  like you and I protect our environment from  degradation. 

Please remember how  our LNP Queensland government has disempowered those that care for a sustainable future for Queensland when the next election arrives .... I am not a  political  animal  by any means but a healthy environment is the foundation of all  sustainable and robust economies. Any government that  wishes to cripple the ability of citizens to fight for healthy land, air  and water is not my  friend.
