I have written to most politicians and you are the only one who has given me a positive on this subject.I believe that we have lost too much of our country and way of life. I don’t know what I do if they were lost forever. I have passed along your reply to our koala club

Development right up along the coast is putting a lot of pressure on our native animals and vegetation. It is unfortunate that people do not understand Aboriginal connection to land as all natural elements have a family association with us. People need to understand, we do not reject development but we need to negotiate how it is done. I am in the same position out west here, because along the rivers our river redgums, the koala colonies and our biodiversity is under threat by land clearing for cotton and wheat. We also need to think about the water in the creeks and rivers, because the government now see water as a commodity that can be sold and this is why we are having big problems. As an independent senator I will review all laws that impact on these things and work towards necessary changes.

It seems no-one has a plan for Indigenous issues.City Of Sydney done a walkaround a couple of days ago there are 800 + people on the streets how many are indigenous. We can find housing options for the immiigrants that come and even bring them in from Christmas Island while our peopoe are living in sub-standard housing. i am hoping that You and Criselee can do something about this important issue.

I would like to say that I am very excited about your campaign. I am a volunteer at 3cr community radio in Collingwood, Melbourne for a program for food fight. I also work in the organics industry and feel strongly about fair trade and the issues you speak of in regards to the high quality Australian grown produce being supported for the sake of primary industry sustainability and care of land. I would love to communicate with you further about you ideas for the future. If you are interested in an interview on the radio let me know. Melbourne radio with a global auidience.

Good luck.

your sincerely

Louise Merrett
