“Here in his electorate of Flinders, Minister Hunt might think he’s a million miles away from the Reef. But he’s my local member and I’ve come here today to tell him that his voters care deeply about the Great Barrier Reef. I hope this picture goes up on his wall and reminds him every day about what he’s allowing to be threatened by careless industrial development.”
Flinders local resident and Reef lover, Gillain Trahair.
