Look at this picture! There are 104 species shown here. According to the citizen science database, iNaturalist, these are the 104 species recorded so far in Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands).
That's the location where the Premier, Peter Malinauskas, wants to chop down hundreds of trees, and build new commercial facilities to attract FIFO millionaire golfers.
It's all about the money!
You can speak up on behalf of the 104 species in this Park. Come to Parliament House, North Terrace, at 11am on Thursday 5 June (World Environment Day).
Using the excuse of LIV Golf, the Government is drawing up plans for Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Park Lands) that would require:
- the destruction of hundreds of trees,
- restricting access to the Park for several months each year and
- the construction of one or more major new commercial buildings, such as restaurants, function centres etc.
Make an impact on World Environment Day, 5 June, by turning up with a toy or cardboard chainsaw, a toy possum or other creature, or any other colourful prop.
Create your own placard, with one or more simple messages that support "Open, Green, Public" and/or expose the Government's excuse for this planned Park attack, e.g. a slogan such as:
- Parks not profit
- Parks for People, not FIFO millionaires
- Protect Possum Park, Pete
- Don't Fence me in
- Your Parks need LIFE not LIV
This is not about opposing golf! We love golf in Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1). The existing golf course is a Park. It’s Open, Green, Public.
Your Park Lands do not need to be fenced. Your Park Lands would not be "improved" with new commercial buildings to cater to FIFO millionaires.
Most importantly, the 104 or more species that are found in this Park do not need Government-contracted chainsaws destroying their habitat.
Please, tell your friends.
