The Gillard Labor Government will increase its investment in the Queensland Wetlands Program to help protect and manage Queensland wetlands.
Peter Garrett made the announcement today during a visit with the Labor Member for Longman, Jon Sullivan.
“The Queensland Wetlands Program is a valuable partnership between the Federal and Queensland Governments, helping to protect and improve the health of our wetlands.
“For more than a decade the former Coalition Government neglected Australia’s wetlands and underestimated their critical environmental importance in filtering nutrients and pollutants and as a haven for bird and animal life.
“In stark contrast, the Gillard Labor Government has made significant investments in wetland health and restoration work both here in Queensland and right around the country.
