Fighting for Australia's wildlife. Liberated from christianity. Love JS Bach, hippie rock, absurdist humour, progressive politics, science, history. #auspol
@RebeccaVassarot@GreensACT@ShaneRattenbury But with a massacred kangaroo population, thanks to the Greens brutal kangaroo cull policy. The kangaroo population at Callum Brae is a small fraction of the 1 kangaroo per hectare supposedly permitted to survive by the Greens. Lazy, cruel and misguided #SaveCanberrasKangaroos
@tanya_plibersek Great to have federal Environment Minister saying this. Sadly wildlife volunteers' experience is that the fight to defend marsupials is usually a fight against government - including Labor governments - sometimes govts with Greens ministers. ACT government is a classic example.
@blakandblack@JustChillieh Can you imagine having this unique animal in your country and then doing everything possible to destroy its habitat, leaving it endangered? Only in Australia.
@JustChillieh Yes a koala joey. Koalas are harmless, shy gentle creatures like all marsupials. They will probably be extinct within 50 years thanks to the inability of Aus goverments to prevent rampart deforestation. The fight for Aussie wildlife is largely a fight against gutless government.
@RebeccaVassarot Bullets have a devastating impact on Canberra's native wildlife too! Your cruel kangaroo slaughter is leading to localised extinction of our #wallaroo. Don't believe me? Try to find one in the reserves that have been "culled". Publish the results #SaveCanberrasKangaroos
@MichaelPascoe01 Let's not forget little old ACT. Canberrans are frustrated at the lack of an alternative to the @ACTLabor@GreensACT coalition government. This Territory government is tired and arrogant. The Greens sold out. The @CanberraLibs are gutless. We need #Teals!!
@tanya_plibersek@AliciaPayneMP@ALeighMP@DavidPocock Thanks Tanya, Alicia, David, for paying attention to local environmental issues. Refreshing to see federal representatives doing that. BUT how many kangaroos were you able to observe following the ACT government's obscene slaughter of these gentle marsupials in recent weeks?
Wallaroos are heading towards extinction in Canberra nature reserves; a direct result of the @ACTLabor@GreensACT government's hideous kangaroo "conservation cull". Illegal killing of wallaroos is ignored by the arrogant @ABarrMLA @ShaneRattenbury government. @RebeccaVassarot
@ACTLabor@GreensACT government in Australian Capital Territory has adopted a fascist, colonial approach to our relationship with wildlife. Judge, jury, executioner; massacring 1645 kangaroos, plus joeys, this Winter. No acknowledgement of opposition or alternatives to killing.
It's such a bloody pity kangaroos can't shoot back. Then we'd see how brave those shooters really are, with their rifles and night vision scopes. Cowards and psychopaths! #savecanberraskangaroos#stopkillingkangaroos
The @ACTLabor and @GreensACT government is slaughtering kangaroos faster than they can breed. Our lazy representatives say they "support the science" without knowing what it is. Since when does "science" justify blatant cruelty? @ABarrMLA @RebeccaVassarot#SaveCanberrasKangaroos
Brutal execution of kangaroos goes on night after night at Canberra's Red Hill reserve. We have @GreensACT to thank for this. The Green's environment minister and MLAs say it's all OK, "We support the science". Really? When does "science" justify cruelty? #SaveCanberrasKangaroos
@RebeccaVassarot OK, very good of you but tell us (honestly for once) how you respond to the heartrending stories of Canberrans who live near the ACT nature reserves where kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies are now being mercilessly slaughtered. Your decision to do this! #auspol#kangarookillers
@GreensACT @pocockdavid @SenKatyG ACT Greens would do better if the party had the guts to walk away from Canberra's hideously cruel unnecessary kangaroo cull. Opposition to the cull is one of the fastest growing community movements in the ACT. Greens are on the wrong side of history here #kangarookillers#auspol
