The elusive Greater Bilby is one of Australia’s most threatened animals. It’s also one of our most-loved, despite the fact many of us have never seen one.
But land clearing for profit threatens their survival. To survive, greater bilbies need safe habitat to call home.
By speaking up and signing the open letter to get big money out of politics, you will be sending a strong message to our elected representatives that it’s time we create a healthy, thriving democracy that’s good for people and planet.
Every signature gets us closer to a democracy that:
Caps political donations by corporations to curb unfair influence.
Reports donations as they happen so we are all informed.
Includes an independent body to investigate and stamp out corruption.
When big money and politics mix, nature loses out.
Sign the open letter: call on our elected representatives to get big money out of our political system, and put people and planet back in.

Open letter
To our elected representatives,
We call on you to work together to get big money out of our political system and put people back in.
This means:
Banning large donations to political parties and candidates.
Increasing the transparency of political donations, including real time reporting of donations.
Limiting expenditure at election times so corporations can’t use their oversized wallets to drown out our voices.
Creating an independent watchdog to investigate and stamp out corruption.
Stronger lobbying regulation and greater transparency so we know who’s meeting with our elected representatives and why.

No environment no economy.
Big business will not benefit if their destruction continues. Policies need to protect all of life on this planet!

Once these animals are gone…they’re gone for good! Act before it is too late. Every animal matters in a balanced ecosystem. We humans must t our part to maintain this, and so must those with the power to put protections in place through government and laws. Make it ‘Bilbies not bunnies’ for Australia, please.

It is past time for governments to have transparency in their dealings with big business and donations. Politicians should be looking after their responsibilities to their constituents and the environment. We need to be able to hold them accountable for their actions and ensure they follow through rather than play lip service to publicised decisions.

This destruction of habitats of our precious wildlife must be stopped. They are entitled to have their homes protected – we don’t own the planet – we share it with many other forms of life.
