Hello to all our amazing supporters!

It's been a big month in our campaign. Shark Nets were set to be removed from New South Wales (NSW) beaches, however, a last-minute political backflip by Dugald Saunders (NSW Fisheries Minister) based on nothing more than political fear, means the cull continues this summer.

We will continue to fight hard in both NSW, and also Queensland (QLD).

In both states, the Fisheries ministers continue the culling programs, and the Environment ministers sit on their hands and do nothing to stop this taxpayer funded ecocide. Both Ministers in both states are listed as decision makers on this petition and always have been from day one. We refuse to let weak Environment ministers hide from their culpability on this issue. They would love for us to exclusively target the Fisheries ministers, but we do not accept that. They have blood on their hands too, due to their inaction. Scanlon (WLD) and Griffin (NSW), it's time to step up.

We also wanted to let you know we have committed to doing more in-depth campaign updates on YouTube and Spotify each month too, for those who are interested in the nuance of the campaign. The first one is linked below. Make sure you subscribe to see it immediately upon posting!

Thank you, let's keep fighting!
