Wildlife Biodiversity

As an American who left the U.S. because of Trump after he was first elected, I can't for the life of me understand why an Australian (looking at you, Tom Tate) would want to glorify a man who was convicted on 34 felony counts, was found liable for sexual assault, has enriched himself and his family at the expense of the American public (aka they are grifters), buried his first wife on his golf course for a tax break, is a compulsive liar, and is an all-around despicable excuse of a human being--a narcissist--who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Trump doesn't care about democracy. Do you, Tom Tate? Or, are you birds of a Mar-a-Lago feather, only in the game for power and money?

Peter, I have lived in Adelaide for over 50 years. The Parklands of this city are our treasure. They are not to be frivolously altered for the sake of a strictly commercial venture. You've been a good Premier of this state, but this is a MAJOR mis-step. Please reconsider before it's too late.

I have myself planted many trees on my very small block in kilburn. The difference it makes to the summer heat and the amount of wildlife that are in my garden at any given time is amazing. And my garden is not an established large area as are the parkland. To destroy any small part of it for the profit of a few is appalling. We are losing so much biodiversity every minute in this country. Please do not contribute further to this devastation.

I have lived adjacent the Adelaide Golf course for 30 years, and walked among these glorious trees over 8000 times. The Adelaide Parklands are a unique treasure, keeping us cool as the climate warms. They were bequeathed to all of us, not to your Government. Major urban developments in Bowden and shortly Thebarton have (& will continue to) increased the number of residents needing green space to retreat to. Stop trading our precious natural resources to fund commercial interests. Your environmental vandalism is incredibly short sighted.
