VICTORY!

86,429 of you made your voice heard.

The people have spoken. The pressure from the Australian people, from active protesters, from the environment groups all campaigning against this travesty have made an impact.

We fought hard, and we WON!

THANK YOU to the 86,429 people that signed this petition.

The Great Australian Bight is a national treasure. It's been saved against this hostile and damaging campaign from oil companies again, by YOU.

Around 85 % of all the marine species that are found in the Bight occur nowhere else on the planet, and they need the delicate balance of this specific ecosystem to survive.

The Great Australian Bight is a vital home and breeding ground for southern right whales, endangered pygmy blue whales and southern blue-fin tuna. It’s an essential feeding ground for endangered sea lions, great white sharks, migratory sperm whales and many other species of marine animals. It shelters Leafy Sea Dragons, seals, many species of sharks and dolphins.

This is an amazing win for all of our beautiful coastal marine life, the Australian environment and the fishing and tourism industries that all depend on our pristine waters for survival.

The people have spoken. We don't want greedy & destructive corporations destroying our natural wilderness. We stood up, and with the pressure of thousands of voices, they have backed down.

My heart is filled with relief. I very much appreciate every person that signed, shared and followed this petition. THANK YOU.

I have very much appreciated all the encouragement, kind words, comments and constructive conversations from everyone during this petition's run. You are all amazing humans and I am so happy to know that so many people love our environment, nature and wilderness and are willing to fight for it's protection.

With much gratitude, Kind Regards,

Kitty
