Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House to reduce the amount of waste entering waterways and subsequently reduce the amount of plastic and other materials on marine ecosystems.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to call on the Palaszczuk Government to engage with local government about introducing compulsory debris traps on storm water and other drainage outlets to reduce the amount of waste entering Queensland waterways, including the Great Barrier Reef.
