Creating better outcomes for Australia

Petition

With the Stop The Toxic Fire Ant Program petition being tabled on the 18 February 2025, it is time to organise the next one.

Please let me know your thoughts on this one.

Queensland Citizens draws to the attention of the House that your petitioners choice to live a poison, pesticide and chemical free lifestyle is not recognised as a basic human right in Queensland. In addition, the right to own, operate or manage a poison, pesticide and chemical free business, farming operation or entity is also not recognised as a basic right of Queenslanders.

Recent Biosecurity eradication program’s have created significant mental and overall health difficulties  by failing to recognise or empower individual’s lifestyle choices of living and/or working in poison, pesticide or chemical free environments, in particular the Biosecurity Act 2014 undermines personal lifestyle choice to live a life without being exposed to poison, pesticides or chemicals including insect growth inhibitors.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to:
‌
• mandate the offering of biosecurity operations, where eradication, suppression and management programs are initiated, to include non-chemical solutions to accommodate these lifestyle, activity and business choices, of individuals and other entities, to live and operate poison, pesticide and chemical free.
• amend The Queensland Human Rights Act 2019 to include the right to live poison, pesticide and chemical free lives.

    Agree and very well said.
    I have C- Ptsd and other illnesses. My daughter had breast cancer not long ago and my grandson broke out in a rash on the day ant bait was spread. He’s never had one before this.
    As soon as I knew the ant baiting was back in our area, I felt ill in the stomach and braced myself as to what to say when they knocked. The whole saga makes me feel disrespected. They entered our backyard while I was home but didn’t hear the doorbell. It made me so uncomfortable in my own home, where I should feel at ease. We had 3 no trespassing signs up. Who are these strangers on our property? Anyone can pretend to be one of the ant baiters. I’m well and truly over this. We have no fire ants.
    Thankyou for all you do.

    I have no trespass signs up and I feel anxious and somewhat ready for when the fire ant mob come knocking. I often wake during the night wondering if our home will be next. I do not like living in fear and I will never consent to this barbaric act.

    Yes Trevor, the democratic right to be able to choose. Plus I have concern over helicopters/ drones baiting close to property. Affecting our air quality, and creek water on property. Currently we have no rights to this invasion of chemicals all around us from the prophylactic treatment.
    Thanks again Trevor.
    Have a good weekend.
    We watched the Netflix program on Antarctica. Shackleton ( 100 years later) and the reenactment of his journey and 28 team members. Allan and I commented his endurance and positivity and never giving up was remarkable and I thought of you. A must watch. Enjoy.

    Sorry you are feeling stress and anxiety. Noone in my group is cutting locks, jumping fences or distributing toxic poison on private property against owners consent.
    Individuals view on vacines doesn’t make them less human with opinions or perspectives less valuable than others.
    My business is lawful and as a commercial business people can choose whether to support me or not. If people don’t get value from my activities they will stop paying me. It is that simple.
    Unlike the NFAEP where they are forcing things unnessarsarily onto to people with bullying, intimidation and threatening behaviour.
    I have not harrassed or been accussed of harrassment by anyone.

    I am happy to reach out and assist with your anxiety or stress if you require assistance?

    Please let me know.
