Details: The public hearings are a very positive step in allowing North Queenslanders the opportunity to address the committee and describe the problems first hand, demonstrating how big an issue crocodile numbers are to those that live and work in the region.  We strongly encourage you to take this opportunity to have your say and support the Safer Waterways Bill.
