SEPTEMBER 17 – THIS IS THE DAY TO STAND UP
September 17 is a critical day for Australia’s animals — and we need you there.
On this day, Member of Parliament Andrew Wilkie will be formally presented with the Stand Against Live Animal Export Change.org petition, which has now reached an incredible 460,390 signatures demanding an end to the live animal export industry.
We are calling on supporters to come to Parliament House, Canberra, for the 11:00 am presentation. This is the most important moment of the day, and we need a strong, visible presence to show the media and decision-makers that Australians will not accept this cruelty any longer. Some supporters may also stay to witness the petition being tabled in Parliament, but the presentation itself is the key focus.
New banners have been ordered specifically for this event and will be displayed during the presentation to Andrew Wilkie in front of the media. A large turnout will send a clear and undeniable message: Australians want live animal export ended.
If you can possibly be in Canberra, please do not stay home. These animals need you there
URGENT – TRANSPORT FROM SYDNEY
I am organising transport from Sydney Central Railway Station, departing 6:45–7:00 am sharp.
After the presentation at Parliament House, the bus will return to Sydney, with a possible stop at the Airport Shopping Mall for lunch, arriving back in Sydney at approximately 4:30–5:00 pm.
We must confirm numbers immediately to secure the correct vehicle — either a minibus or a coach. Seats will only be guaranteed based on early confirmation, so please respond as soon as possible if you intend to travel.
I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU IF:
● You want a seat on the bus
● You are definitely attending at Parliament House
● You are even considering coming
Even a “maybe” helps me plan — but I need to know urgently.
Accurate numbers are essential for transport booking, banner preparation, and coordination with Andrew Wilkie’s team and media.
Please share this widely. Every extra person at Parliament House strengthens the message that compassion is louder than cruelty.
