Five reasons Queensland should legalise nude beaches

[NudieDaniel]

A petition has been started to legalise ‘clothing optional’ beaches in Queensland. Here are the surprising reasons you’ll probably want to sign it.

When it comes to nudist opportunities, Queensland is very much behind the curve.

That’s why a campaign to legalise nude beaches in Queensland has been kicked off by a resident of Poona, a small town outside Maryborough. The nudist campaigner has lodged a petition to the Queensland Parliament demanding a clothing optional beach in the sunshine state.
The e-petition reads: “Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that we are seeking your support to have the right for a selected beach within Fraser Coast electorate or elsewhere in the State of Queensland to be classified as Clothing Optional for the recreational use of those who so wish to sunbathe or swim nude without the fear of prosecution.”

However, not everybody is hastening to unbutton their shirts and feel the ocean water on their skin.

Poona Community Progress Association President Peter Heit told Brisbane Times ”that perverts and blokes like that would probably come along as well, and we don’t want them in Poona, that’s for sure.”
Australian Naturist Federation representative Stuart Whelan thinks nudists and naturists in Queensland are being dealt an unfair hand, and spoke to Bmag about why we need the law to change.
