Petition

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the
attention of the House that we, the undersigned, declare that we are
opposed to the mining of gold and any other mineral, undertaken above and
below the surface of land as designated by the present mining lease No.
50124 and the mining lease application No. 50203 taken out by Papillon
Mining and Exploration Pty Ltd. We are also opposed to any future mining
activities taking place in the North Arm area. We call upon the House to
give due diligence to the detrimental effects of mining above or below
this freehold rural residential area of the Sunshine Coast.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to stop all present mining
activities and reject the mining lease application No. 50203 and further
to stop any future mining of minerals in the North Arm district.
