WE , THE PEOPLE , ON MARCH TO SAVE THE PLANET FROM DISASTER

Across the nation ,the world , marches  are being held to  drive home to the politicians that the Paris talks must really come to grips with the greatest threat to survival of the planet .The march taking place in Townsville  comes at a time when  it has been revealed  that large parts of  the north are  being  clear-felled under approvals given in the  last moments of the Campbell Newman government , but allowed   to continue because of  legal  manoeuvres and  what appears to  be  timidity  on behalf of  the  Queensland  government. Massive , corrupt , logging   in  PNG is devastating the environment as it is in other parts of the Pacific .  Add to this  the  huge fires burning  in  Indonesia  which  blanketed  a large  part of South East Asia  and the picture is grim in our region .
