UPDATE 17 FEBRUARY 2022: Due to the significant rise in Covid-19 case numbers in Perth over the last three days, we have made the decision to cancel the public rally next Tuesday the 22-2-22 and reconfigure the event.
It will no longer be a public rally.
The good news is that the Minister for Environment, Hon Reece Whitby, has agreed to meet with the Coalition to receive the petitions and begin conversations about need for an Emergency Plan to protect the Black Cockatoos. Hon Stephen Pratt MLC has also agreed to submit our petition to Parliament.
We would not have gotten here without all your help collecting signatures on the petition and spreading the word. You can download the petition here bit.ly/BlackCockatooPetition - please keep the signatures coming!
There will be more events depending on the COVID situation in the coming months and online actions to make a difference, and we will keep you updated on progress and opportunities right here. Onwards for the Cockies!
