Worse than that, they are going to GIVE our public land away to whoever will build the biggest cruise ship terminal/casino. Who do they think they are?

This is the most momentum a cruiseship terminal campaign has had from big buisness and the government. Anyone that surfs T.O.S. should be showing their support ( thats a lot of people ! )If it goes ahead we lose the Spit and T.O.S. for sure and thats bull****. See ya there Piros!

If Tate isn't going to come to you guy's, you should just go visit him. I'm sure either way I'd be suprised if he will listen. Unfortunately he was voted in by the majority even when he had clearly stated his intent, hence why he didn't get my vote.

Maybe my math is off, but 37% isn't a majority.

I was fortunate enough this morning to be able to attend this rally with my wife, daughter and dog. Also with some friends and their 2 daughters.

They say already that this was the biggest turnout in Gold Coast history against anything.

These jokers have a war on their hands trying to get this one up.

Something occured to me though and you should probably think about if you are interested in this topic.

In my opinion from what I heard today a ship will never enter the seaway. The basic requirements and rules basically mean it can not happen. BUT....

Don't be fooled that makes it over, it's about the land grab, about selling off the land to Newman and Tates mates.

Here's a tip for you, check who the main financial contributors are to the State Liberal party and lets see if you do not hear more about their involvement in the issue.

The cruise ship won't get up, they are using it as a red herring to be able to look like they listened to the people when they scrap the idea, carve up the land and give it to their main financial contributors.

That's my theory at this point, either way i'm pissed about it.

And I thought the paddling scene on Currumbin Creek was political....

CMC, I have seen some proposal drawings that show that a cruise ship can enter and berth. This involves a substantial amount of dredging as well as new breakwaters and modifications to existing breakwaters.
The grab for wavebreak is to accommodate these changes.
One of the biggest issues however is the need for a regular dredging programme, this will constantly stuff up the waterways. The cost of this dredging will probably be bourne by council aspart of yearly maintenance.
I also read this morning that figures show that cruise passengers don't spend much money on shore as their trips are all inclusive, they have a coffee and a look around that is about it.
This is about wealthy Liberal party mates getting their hands on public land so that they can charge the crusie company to berth and then develop some infrastructure of their own that they can charge for.
The whole thing stinks. Get angry and stay angry!!!!

defies belief they are actually serious.


it would be good if the federal government stepped in stop the madness


all i can see is this



and ecosystem damage
