- Country Needs People launches petition to garner support for the Queensland Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger Program
Before the 2024 Queensland Election, tell your local candidates that the work of Indigenous Rangers is critical and needs to be continued.
The Queensland Indigenous Land & Sea Ranger program is an Aussie success story – there are now over 200 Indigenous Rangers working across 47 remote and rural locations.
From the tropics to the outback, Indigenous Rangers are on the frontline of Queensland’s biggest challenges, caring for Country for all Queenslanders. The program has provided real jobs in community with 17 years of cross-party government support. It’s not only delivering real and tangible outcomes for First Nations peoples, it's protecting the environment for all Queenslanders into the future.
But now we need your support to ensure all parties remain committed to securing and strengthening the Queensland Indigenous Ranger program.
Sign the petition here to call on all QLD pollies to publicly commit before the October 2024 election to secure and strengthen support for Indigenous Rangers.
We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.
