Koala Woman Says
This electorate covers most of the ACT including Namadgi National Park where there was a confirmed Koala sighting in 2018, but half of this electorate was burnt in the 2019-2020 fire. So, unfortunately, its likely that the only Koalas left are the few that were evacuated in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, safe behind a fence until the next fire. It’s perhaps ironic that some Cape Otway Koalas were translocated to the Reserve in 2013. Was this the Victorian Government’s way of saying “thanks for not listing the Koala under the EPBC Act in Victoria”?
