The future of Eungella and the Pioneer Valley depends on the choices we make this state election. The Pioneer-Burdekin Pumped Hydro Project threatens not only our environment but also the way of life of our rural communities. As we approach the upcoming election, it’s crucial that every resident and supporter uses their vote wisely to protect our community. This is our chance to ensure our voices are heard and that this damaging project is stopped once and for all.
Your Vote Matters
For two years, Save Eungella has fought tirelessly to raise awareness of the impacts this project will have on our unique, biodiverse environment and the local communities that call this area home. The Queensland Labor Government have consistently ignored our concerns, pushing forward with a project that will destroy natural habitats, harm local wildlife, and change the landscape of our rural towns forever. Now is the time to take action and vote for the future of Eungella.
How to Use Your Vote Effectively
To truly make a difference, it’s vital that we vote strategically. Here’s how you can ensure your vote counts.
Put Labor and the Greens LAST: These parties have shown time and again that they do not prioritise the well-being of our communities. By placing them last on your ballot, you send a clear message that their disregard for Eungella’s environment and residents is unacceptable.
Fill Out All the Squares: Make sure you fill out every square on your ballot. This is crucial for your vote to be valid and counted. Don’t leave any gaps; a complete ballot ensures that your preferences are fully represented.
Choose Your Preferences Wisely: Research your candidates and understand their positions. Look for those who have shown support for our community’s efforts and have committed to stopping the Pioneer-Burdekin Pumped Hydro Project. Candidates like Stephen Andrew MP for Mirani, Michelle Landry for LNP, Kylee Stanton for One Nation and others have shown strong support for our cause. Give your preferences to candidates who will stand with us in this fight.
Make Your Vote Count: Every vote matters. By voting strategically and sharing this message, you can help ensure that we elect representatives who will protect our unique, biodiverse environment, support our local businesses, and uphold the rural lifestyle that makes this region so special.
Reflecting on Why We Fight
We must remember why we started this fight. Our mission is to protect the unique and biodiverse environment of Eungella, home to many endemic and threatened species that have no voice of their own. It’s about the school children who rely on safe and consistent bus runs, the families who cherish the natural beauty of our community, and the family-owned businesses that depend on tourism and agriculture. By voting to Save Eungella, you stand up for all of these aspects of our way of life.
Spread the Word
Now is the time for action. Share this message far and wide, so everyone in our community knows what’s at stake. Talk to your friends, neighbours, and family about how they can make their vote count. Together, we can protect Eungella and its environment for future generations. Let’s make our voices heard.
