ckeckout change.org to sign the petition.

In February this year the Queensland Minister for Health Lawrence Springborg decided that he would cut all funding to the Advanced Breast Cancer Group, citing his desire to move ALL funding for community based health services to a private model.

Over the past 15 years we have developed a Statewide psychosocial support service that helps women dying of secondary breast cancer deal with the challenges and trauma of their disease, and is the envy of women and health professionals in other States.

Directs that people already found to be refugees who arrived by boat be given the lowest priority for family reunion - 8 January 2014

Scott Morrison issued a new directive to Immigration Department officers at the end of December directing them to afford irregular maritime arrivals the lowest priority for family migration visas.

Breaks his promise to provide the promised customs vessel to monitor whaling operations in the Southern Ocean – 23 December 2013

In the lead-up to the election the Coalition promised to send a Customs vessel to the area.

Under Australian law, such a vessel would have to turn around any Japanese ship that conducted illegal whaling.

Greens Senator Peter Wish-Wilson says sending a plane will have a limited impact, and the Government has a boat ready-made for such a mission.

"The taxpayers paid $150 million for a purpose-built vessel that's designed to operate in Antarctic waters," he said.

"Now at the moment it's been seconded by Scott Morrison, the Minister for Immigration, to act as a tropical water taxi off Christmas Island."

Starts dismantling Australia’s world leading marine protection system - 13 December 2013 

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has followed through on his pre-election threat to Australia’s national network of marine parks by suspending the management plans for 33 new marine parks, including parks in the Coral Sea, the Kimberley and the Great Australia Bight. These management plans outline where and what level of protection each park has to offer, and provides the protection that our turtles, whales, fish and dolphins so urgently need.

After 15 years of extensive scientific investigation and the most thorough public consultation process in Australia’s history, the protection these parks had to offer was to come into effect on 1 July 2014. Today’s proclamation effectively freezes the introduction of any protection while the Government conducts a review of the science behind the plans and undertakes yet more consultation. This additional government process is expected to take up to 2 years during which the future of the protected marine sanctuaries that are located within marine parks will be decided. The areas now at risk include:

The Coral Sea, the ‘Serengeti of the Seas,’ home to near-pristine populations of threatened whales, dolphins, sharks, and tuna.

• * Key breeding sites for the endangered Australian sea lion off the southern coast.

• * Critical fish breeding sites, whale resting areas, and prime recreational fishing grounds of Geographe Bay, which are threatened by commercial gillnetting and trawling.

• * Important offshore reefs around Lord Howe and Norfolk islands.

• * The unspoiled surf beaches of Margaret River and whale migration routes, which face the risk of oil spills.

• * Gulf of Carpentaria turtle habitat, which is threatened by bottom trawling.

• * Waters adjacent to the newly proclaimed Camden Sound Marine Park area of the Kimberley humpback whale nursery.
