The Greens have responded to the government's threat to dig up our national parks with a petition campaign, asking Parliament to:
reject any move to mine our national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, marine reserves, protected islands, the Coromandel’s beautiful land and waters, and all other treasured places protected by Schedule 4 of the Crown Minerals Act 1991; furthermore, we ask that the House of Representative put in place greater legislative protection against mining on the public conservation estate, to keep safe our collective heritage for future generations.If you think that sounds like a good idea (and I do), you can download the petition here. Sign it, get your friends to sign it, and send it back.
