Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House to the need for a review into the recent renaming of Fraser Island to K’gari.
There was never an option given to the public of the island having dual names. Locally there is a very strong connection with the previous name of Fraser Island. Many businesses and even the area’s local government uses Fraser in their titles, and the area is known as the Fraser Coast.
This omission needs to be addressed.
Your Petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all within its power to make correct this oversight and name the island both K’gari and Fraser Island.
