Hello Koala Lovers,

Well, the Minister for Environment, in her desire to keep her government in power has decided to make yet another meaningless announcement that she will upgrade the Koala from Vulnerable to Endangered under the EPBC Act. I predicted this in a previous Diary .

And as always, we can feel an election coming, and very soon. Probably a good time to launch “Don’t Vote for a Dill” . For overseas supporters a Dill – in Aussie language is “Another word for an idiot, or someone who does things without thinking.”

Sad thing is that since the Koala was listed in April of 2012, one Labor Minister and four Liberal Ministers have failed to do anything to protect the Koala. So who do we vote for? Well, certainly not for a Dill. Australians, think wisely in the upcoming election – it is your future in their hands and truly it will be the most important election of this century. We will need wise and careful leaders who think of our future and not their own comfort and seats in power.

My press release about this is HERE

As always,

Deborah
