Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett is encouraging the community to get behind the families of Bundaberg’s lost fishermen, David Chivers and Matthew Roberts.
Mr Bennett said an online fundraising appeal had been set up to assist the much-loved fishermen’s families following the tragedy.
“Our community sticks together in times of need, and I’d like to think we can all band together to help David and Matthew’s families at this difficult time,” he said.
“It’s an extremely distressing time for these families and a devastating blow to our local fishing industry and our community.”
So far more than $4,000 had been raised since the appeal’s launch yesterday.
