What’s involved?

The NSW government is currently re-evaluating shark nets and their use on beaches. Now is the time to let them know what you think about about this unnecessary practice.

Write a letter to:

The Hon Ian Macdonald
Minister for Fisheries
Parliament House
Macquarie St
Sydney NSW 2000
Fax (02) 9281 1115

The Hon Desley Boyle
Minister for Environment
PO Box 155, Albert St
Brisbane QLD 4002
Fax: (07) 3229 6920

Senator The Hon Ian Campbell
Minister for Environment and Heritage
Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600

Let them know that the NSW and QLD shark control programs are threatening the survival and recovery of listed threatened species, including the critically endangered grey nurse shark, and ask that they be removed.

Why should people do this?

I want to do this!
