Koala Woman Says

Campsie in this electorate was developed for timber and firewood in the 1820s, and an old sketch from 1883 shows Canterbury Road cutting through eucalypt woodland, about the time that Ashfield Railway Station opened and extensive subdivision occurred. Koalas were likely to have been here, but there certainly hasn’t been any since then.

We would hope the Prime Minister of our country understands the significance of this iconic species to our cultural heritage and to our world standing. Every time a dignitary visits Australia and has their photo taken, usually with a Koala from a zoo, no one wants to mention that it is now listed as Endangered in some parts of the country and not in others. All Koalas should be protected given their iconic stature and economic value to Australia.

Is Prime Minister Albanese capable of heeding our concerns and supporting a Koala Protection Act?

We need to gain his support for a sustainable future. Ask him.

Will he Act or Axe?
