I grew up in Bowen, married there, had my first child there.
When I married my husband, Joe Walsh,
my mother said I married half of Bowen - and I probably did.
So I lived beside the Great Barrier Reef at the top end
of the beautiful Whitsunday Islands.
It now appears that I live in a nation where vandals and visigoths
make impacting decisions with impunity.
We need the names of those who are allowing dangerous projects
which will impact on the reef.
We need thee names never to be forgotten.
When this sort of thing befalls our beloved Great Barrief Reef,
we need to carve this names with disgust
on memorial boards along the communities of The Reef.

- allow new mega ports to be built alongside it, including the largest coal port in the world?
- turn it into a shipping superhighway?
- allow millions of tonnes of dredging and then dump the spoil on its doorstep?

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
