Save Magnetic Island Camp! LNP pays lip service to disaster management!

 It has become painfully obvious that the Newman government is paying lip service only to having the Magnetic Island Recreation Centre continue in it's current roles. That is firstly as an Active recreation Centre for kids & other groups, and secondly as Magnetic Island's only Disaster Relief & Recovery Centre.

To remove the Magnetic Island Centre from the current list of designated Recovery Centres available at the beginning of a cyclone season can only be seen as the Newman governments dereliction of their duty of care, showing an outrageously blatant disregard for the island community's welfare...

John Hathaway MP LNP Responds to Closing Picnic Bay Recreation Centre

The Magnetic Times somehow manged to do what a lot of others could not. The inimitable and persistent Editor George obtained a response from John Hathaway MP LNP on the impending closure of the Picnic Bay Recreation Centre. Check out the article... http://www.magnetictimes.com.au/article-4076.html

In the response to the Magnetic Times Mr Hathaway states
"Whilst the decision to permanently close the recreation centre has not been made, our government must look at all options. We are open to expressions of interest from operators who may be able to invest in the recreation centre in order to reduce the government's overall expenditure."

Sounds clear and above board but... it's somewhat ambiguous.

• the camp may or may not be closed
• the government is considering options
• the government is open to expressions of interest for investment in the site 

Does this mean that there is a hidden agenda? Does Campbell Newman and his cohorts have some preferred LNP supporting developers lurking in the background?

Time will tell. Meanwhile let John know your thoughts.

Magnetic Island Recreation Camp Closed Permanently to be Sold Off by Fuhrer Campbell Newman

Magnetic Island Recreation Camp at Picnic bay is now officially closed. LNP Queensland Fuhrer Campbell Newman has decreed that our newly renovated camp is to be sold off to the highest bidder.

Over 30 school and other groups already booked will now be denied economically viable access to Magnetic island.

Our camp is an integral component of our tourism infrastructure. The island depends on tourism for it's viability. Times are hard, visitor numbers are down. The Camp must be reopened. It must not be sold off like the rest of Queensland.

We must not allow some jackbooted unscrupulous despot and his stormtroopers use his and his party's so called 'mandate' to turn our camp into a developers dream.

What can you do?
