Emergency meeting on oil spill

Anna today convened a special emergency meeting to ensure the Moreton Bay oil spill clean up effort continued as quickly and as effectively as possible.

At the meeting were the Premier, Transport Minister John Mickel and representatives from Maritime Safety Qld, the Local Government Department and Emergency Services.

The Premier saw the affected area first hand this morning.

“The clean up crews are doing great work in tough conditions and need our support through this difficult time,” Anna said.

“People are working around the clock to make sure this mess is cleaned up as quickly as possible.”

“And as a Government we will do everything in our power to make sure this happens.”
