Howdy Folks,
The vigil for the St Kilda Mangroves on the South Australian Parliament House Steps held this past Tuesday morning had a great turnout with many sincere and direct messages of concern being shared by the variety of speakers from the St Kilda Mangrove Alliance, members of the SA Parliament and among the people attending. Thank you for coming along, it was great to see a presence that could not be ignored by the media and the state government.
One highlight for me were the clear and concise words of Mark Parnell as to whether we should be even considering trusting the Department of Mining to responsibly fix this mess when their day job is to approve and action the clearing of native growth for profit.
Another highlight of the day for me was the absolute resolve to force action for the sake of this vitally important region at St Kilda and surrounds by Tammy Franks with mention of her (then) upcoming motion in Parliament condemning the Government's inaction and ineptitude in dealing with the mass die-off of mangroves and salt marsh at St Kilda.
This is not the end, we are just at the beginning of this campaign really. Where does the campaign go from here? Stay tuned for more updates as they come to hand, keep sharing the campaign and the petition.
Remember that the social media feeds are all linked to as is the petition along with a range of other things at the website.

Be well and stay safe everyone.
Kindest regards,
