“Opposition leader says Hathaway should resign over Rec Camp closure” 
Extract; Magnetic Times article 25 Nov 12 George Hirst
Queensland’s Leader of the Opposition, Annastacia Palaszczuk, visited Magnetic Island on Friday and called on our local LNP Member, John Hathaway, to resign for not representing the Magnetic Island community’s calls to stop the government from closing the Magnetic Island Recreation Camp at Picnic Bay.
