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.

Please Premier McGowan and Cabinet, don’t let big business take over everything just for the sake of the almighty Dollar. You have just made a big impact on WA with your perfect handling of the Covid crisis, don’t now go and ruin your standing in WA by silly decisions in favor of business giving cash handouts to the Labor Party.

Please protect our native animals – the bilby, wombats, kangaroos – all our precious wildlife. They are so threatened by loss of habitat.

I can not believe the proponents and politicians are continuing with this clearing of billy habitat.
The bilby has no defence against you all. You are as effective as feral cats at consigning Australia’s iconic and endangered species to extinction.
All for a pound of beef.

It’s time to stop farmers from clearing further land. Far too much has been cleared in Australia already. Clearing more, particularly in our rangeland areas, should not be allowed. When are we going to learn from the effects of our past clearing impacts and stop this practice occurring.

Keep big money out of our political system!
Roxy2021-04-01 16:48:09 +1100
It is disgraceful that big money is a more powerful voice than that of the greater population who really care about Australia’s wildlife.
Please do all that is necessary to prevent this endemic corruption! It is heart breaking.
