STOP LABOR LOCKING UP CAPE YORK – END THE WORLD HERITAGE LISTING

Authorised by Warren Entsch MP, LNP, Cairns QLD.

The Federal and Queensland Labor Governments have recently started the process of nominating the Cape York Peninsula Region for a World Heritage Listing.

Cape York is indeed a place of immense beauty and value, deserving of protection, but our Labor Governments are intent on giving power to UNESCO instead of the people who live, work and depend on this important area.

The Government has suggested they will engage with locals throughout this process, but it is clear that they only intend of engaging people who agree with the proposed listing.

To impose a world heritage listing on the Cape York Peninsula region is a decision that could have devastating implications for landholders and traditional owner groups. Restricting rights and ability to utilise the land that many have struggled and fought over for decades.

We don’t need the United Nations telling us how we can use and how we should preserve our land. Locals have the best knowledge and solutions to the challenges we face. Sign the petition and demand that the Australian and Queensland Government halt their proposed world heritage listing for the Cape York Peninsula Region.
