I received confirmation yesterday that Federation Square, Melbourne, has been approved for May the 1st.
We just have to hope the borders and restrictions have all dissolved by then. At this point in time I’ve put in for 11:30/11:45 start and finish around 1:15/1:30, I’m also trying to negotiate a small march through the Melbourne CBD afterwards. Sadly though we are not allowed to hand out flyers or stickers but I’m hoping they will approve my small card table to keep flyers and stickers on for anyone wanting further information on Live Animal Export. I am allowed to have banners an the PA system, if there is anyone comfortable speaking on behalf of the animals please let me know, but we need to be respectful and remember this is about Live Animal Exports, no other agenda will be considered on the day. 
There is a 100 people limit but if we get 100 people to attend I will be gobsmacked. I will post more information as it gets closer but for now can we please FLY THOSE ORANGE RIBBONS AND RAISE AWARENESS!!

Townsville has inundated with Live Animal Export ships since the New Year.
 I could never live in Townsville, seeing the trucks often, hearing the cries of the animals, knowing their fate and then the stench. I feel terrible for the innocent residents of Townsville, Townsville Against Live Export hold a market stall regularly so that the unaware become educated and visitors to the town become aware of Australia’s shameful Live Animal Export trade..

Sydney people, I’m looking at late March to hold another Protest/Awareness Day, I will post that once I know.

I still have plenty of Stand Against Live Animal Exports merchandise if you’re interested...Ribbon, Pens, Tees, Car Flags, Shopping Bags, Hand Flags (to put on your letterbox, gate etc), stickers and flyers... we need to be persistent with raising awareness...x
