Dear Premier Miles,

Thank you for making the decision to protect the channel country against mining. The future of Australia’s indigenous people and our respective grandchildren will look more promising if other political leaders could also step up like you have done.

Wishing you and your family all the very best of the holiday season and continue the great leadership into 2024.

Dear Premier Miles


Congratulations on your appointment and thank you for announcing new emissions reduction targets and the protection of the Channel Country from expansion of oil and gas extraction.


At Christmastime traditionally the celebrations were about light in the darkness — the triumph of hope. For those of us who have closely followed the issue of climate heating, hope is fast running out.


Your early efforts to set the tone of your premiership as one responsive to and responsible for just transition from a carbon intensive economy are welcome. I wish you every success in these endeavours.


Merry Christmas, Tracey Nayler

Dear Premier,

What a brilliant outcome for not only the Channel Rivers Country but for the whole of Australia who may one day face the same challenges. A heartfelt thank you to you Premier Steven Miles and congratulations for working with the people of the land and Lock the Gate Group to achieve this outcome. I hope our beautiful state of Tasmania will continue to be Frack Free. With your kind of leadership regarding this matter we might be safe! Merry Christmas

Thank you so much Premier Steven Miles for protecting the Channel Country Rivers from oil and gas.

Please keep your promise that no new Fracking in the Channel Country will happen after August & please close the old ones down.

Thank you Premier Miles for protecting Queensland Channel Rivers from oil and gas. A very wise decision in times of climate emergency.


Kind regards,

Thank you Premier for protecting the Channel Country, and for giving Queenslanders and Australians a wonderful Christmas present

Dear Premier Miles

Thank you for protecting the Channel Country.

Thank you Premier, it’s a rare win for the planet and a demonstration of what wisdom and courage can achieve.

Thank you for taking a step forward to protect the future of all Australians.

Thank you for protecting the Channel Country rivers

Well Done!!

Thank you for protecting the Channel Country of Queensland.. These rivers are some of the last free-flowing desert rivers in the world – they sustain a clean, grass-fed beef industry and hold tremendous cultural significance for the Traditional Owners of the land.

Oil and gas would have wreaked havoc on this fragile ecosystem and put precious cultural sites at risk. Without this protection, we could have seen thousands of fracking wells drilled across the landscape and millions of litres of water sucked out of groundwater systems.

Dear Premier Miles,

Congratulations on your recent appointment to the top job in Queensland. I would like to send my sincere and heartfelt thanks to you for making the protection of the Queensland Channel Country Rivers from the oil and gas industry one of the priorities in your first week in the job! I and so many others could not have asked for a better Christmas present – a beacon of hope in what has been a very bleak time for many. I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas, health and happiness across 2024 and many more opportunities to stand up for what is right for Queensland, Australia and the future of our planet.


With extreme gratitude,

Premier Miles,

Thank you for protecting Queensland Channel Country Rivers will from oil and gas extraction.

Thank you Premier.

The most important resources in Australia are water then food. Without good water we impact food. We can’t eat or drink oil, gas or coal.

Hopefully your leadership will be followed by others.

Thanking you for your consideration, to the creation of God’s Earth, in keeping it part of how he created it for man kind and all his animals to live in their natural environment. Blessings be with thee.

I’m not from Qld but I am an Australian who is deeply worried about the direction of care and respect recent governments have shown to our country and future generations in regards of environmental preservation.

Thank you for your courage and foresight in delivering these protections for the people, wild life and rivers of Channel Country and the Lake Eyre Basin. Unlike most politicians, you should be able to rest well at night knowing you have helped stand up against the destructive practice of fracking.

Great news about saving the Lake Eyre Basin from fracking for now and the future.

Thank you, its give me a reason to start voting for Labor.

Although not from Queensland ( I am Perth Western Australia) I truly congratulate you having the vision, courage and strength to take action and stop fracking. My perception of you individually has just risen 110%, well done lead the nation in stopping this devastating practice.

Dear Premier Steven Miles,

Although I am not a Queenslander (I’m in Perth Western Australia) I want to express my appreciation for your action in protecting the outback rivers in your state from risky industrial processes involved in oil and gas extraction.

With thanks,

Dear Premier,


From the bottom of my elderly retired-farming heart (D.O.B. 30/09/30) please accept my sincere congratulations for preventing more fracking in a big area of Queensland. You are showing yourself to be a “Light on the Hill” such as was spoken of by the late, great Ben Chiefley!
