Koala Woman Says This electorate needs covers about half of the Strathbogie plateau which the Victorian Government estimates has tens of thousands of koalas. At least with outside scrutiny they have reduced their 1995 estimate of 180,000 Koalas. We have repeatedly...

Koala Woman Says Look at the discrepancy between AKF and government figures, and who is right? The huge range of 55-10,000 is totally meaningless and has no scientific merit.  Where did they get these figures? It’s not even a guess. The member needs to question the...

Koala Woman Says If we are right about this electorate, then the koalas are gone because of the fur trade and the highly fragmented landscape. There have been recent sightings at Pakenham Upper and some 10-year old sightings at Upper Ferntree Gully, very few compared...
