The e-petition closed on 28 November and was tabled in parliament today Thursday 29 November 2012. It will be referred to the for Recreation, Steve Dickson MP this week. A response is due on the 7th January 2013, 20 days after the camp is closed with staff either retrenched or laid off.
The camp is traditionally closed for December and January but staff were always on site during this period.
The paper petition will be presented to the Member for Townsville, John Hathaway MP, to be tabled in parliament on our behalf.
We will have more news and information about further action over the next few days. Meanwhile go to;
