Hi NEVILLE,
After a brilliant 7 days on the campaign trail, it’s time for me to kick my fins up.
Having spread the word about the six WWF policies needed to protect the Great Barrier Reef, it’s now over to the people of Queensland as they head to the polls this Saturday.
Thanks to you and Reef supporters around the world – the call for strong Reef policies filled the Facebook and Twitter feeds of hundreds of thousands of people – including QLD leaders directly.
Your support and voice came at a critical time. Election campaigns are a time when politicians pay especially close attention to the concerns of the public. This helps shape policy commitments, and sets the agenda for new governments.
There is one final (quite urchin-t) thing you can do for the Reef before the election this Saturday. WWF has completed its rigorous assessment of the major QLD parties’ Reef policies, and compiled it in this easy-to-follow scorecard.
Can you share the Reef Scorecard on Facebook, from this link? It’s especially useful if you share it with your friends and family who live in Queensland, as it’s their political parties that have been assessed. If you know people in Queensland, simply tag them when you share it – hopefully they’ll spread the word too!
Thanks for tuna-ing in and your support NEVILLE – the Great Barrier Reef is an incredible place – you’re doing a wonderful thing.
P.S. Facebook is a fintastic way to share the scorecard as it will reach so many people, but if you don’t have Facebook it’s no problem – you can view and read more about the scorecard on the WWF-Australia website. |
