Interview with Bryson Head - Green Shirts Movement - 10 February 2019

The interview was recorded o Sunday 9 February 2019.

Fishers and Farmers flying the Green Shirts Movement banner will converge on Parliament House on 12 February 2019, from 1.30pm to 5pm coinciding with the first sitting day of 2019 for the Queensland Parliament.

Thanks to Bryson for sharing his views on the impending rally in Brisbane.

Rally Background

Fishers and Farmers flying the Green Shirts Movement banner will converge on Parliament House on 12th February 2019, from 1.30pm to 5pm coinciding with the first sitting day of 2019 for the Queensland Parliament.

The Green Shirts Movement QLD, having in excess of 6,000 followers on Facebook is a group of farmers, fishermen and business owners not only representing themselves but all who are being crippled by the mismanagement, and poor policy from a Government who appear to hold no value in the future viability of those who produce and harvest the food and fibre for the state.

A Government who continue to be beholden to a concrete bound extreme green driven faction who persist in peddling misinformation, their immoderate ideology and politically driven agenda.

This disciplined yet determined rally will commence outside Parliament House and be followed by a street march. The Green Shirts Movement have however, been made aware through unofficial channels that extreme vegan activists who may have been involved in disrupting the Queensland Children’s Hospital Christmas Party for and storming the Dolphin shows at Sea World late in 2018, plan on attending our event and hosting a counter protest.
