On 14 December 1988, 4ZZZ was taken off air and forcibly evicted from its UQ premises by the then student union executive, headed by one Victoria Brazil. The move prompted many previously apolitical students to take a firm stand against the move and to rally support for the station. While Zed was not to return to the premises its' volunteers had helped hand-build, unprecedented community support saw the station live to fight another day.
Referendum on state of the Great Barrier Reef
Conservation group World Wide Fund For Nature has called on Premier Anna Bligh and Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman to provide firm commitments to safeguard the Great Barrier Reef.
A press release issued by the group urged Queenslanders to treat the next election as a referendum on the future of the reef.
WWF has called on the leaders to curb pollution, protect marine life, and establish a new “reef bank” to invest money from the mining boom into reef resilience programs.
