My volunteers and I have been generating quite a lot of activity around Launceston with the Tamar silt petition.  It calls on the Labor-Green Government to keep it’s promises including more than $6m in funding to perform ongoing dredging and silt removal from the choked-up river. 

Did you know that it has now been more than 210 days since a dredge was last operating on the river?  The river was bad enough then, but the passage of time has caused additional deposition of silt in the yacht basin at the heart of our beautiful city.

So it’s time to up the ante – my petition has now gone online to make it even easier to add your voice to the growing community call for the government to keep its promises and to pass word around to your friends and family.  The only condition is that you be a Tasmanian citizen.

Please join me in speaking up for our Tamar River and human enjoyment of our river.    Click here to sign the petition online, right now
