TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland

The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the
attention of the House the unfair dismissal of Capt John Takai by the
Queensland Fire & Rescue Service (QF&RS) and the unfair discrimination by
th~ QF&RS in not re-instating him to his original position as was
recommended by the State Industrial Relations Commission and as was the
case with the other seven Auxiliaries involved in the case. Considering
that John Takai has l7 yrs experience as a fire-fighter and considerable
local and cultural knowledge.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to reinstate Capt JohnTakai
to Queensland Fire & Rescue Service, Thursday Island.
