It may be a new year, and we may have a new government in Canberra, but there’s still plenty of causes that require a bit of your hard yakka. And by hard yakka I mean signing internet petitions! (Yes you can have a VB after every petition you sign).

So for a start get yourself over to the Wilderness Society and sign their petition urging the QLD government to protect thirteen of Cape York’s wild river systems. They said they’d do it, but they haven’t – keep the bastards honest.

Some of you might notice that the petition is being run by none other than the original bassist from Petuey. Please don’t bother him with fan mail, he’s very busy.
