How Tony Abbott is Affecting Australia

I am only 13 and even I know that Tony Abbott is ruining Australia in every way possible. Firstly, he is killing the environment. In Western Australia, Great White Sharks are being slaughtered. In Tasmania, Tony Abbott is attempting to remove ancient forests off the World Heritage list. In Queensland, he is wrecking the Great Barrier Reef by dumping the waste from coal mining into it. Tony Abbott is allowing any coal mining companies to mine in some of Australia's most precious places. Right now the federal government is trying to take away our right to legally object to these sorts of damaging projects if we don't own the place where they are trying to ruin (since no one owns the Great Barrier Reef, no one can object to stopping the government wrecking it).

How Tony Abbott is Affecting Me

I am fortunate enough to have the amazing experience of owning horses. Berrima Horse Trials in NSW is my very favourite horse event. It is a fun weekend of dressage, show jumping and cross country. The weekend is amazing for beginners as well as suitable for experienced horse riders. I have learnt so many valuable tips and have made so many memorable experiences. Berrima Horse Trials was my first event to ever compete in and the first competition I ever won a ribbon in. I completed my first ever clear show jumping and cross country course there. Sadly, Tony Abbot is trying to allow a Korean coal mining company, POSCO, to mine here in one of my most favourite places to horse ride at. This will be ruining such a great opportunity for horse riders including myself.
