BIRDING BULLETIN No.20, 3 July 2009
Dear Birding NSW members
Here are your Club events for the next fortnight, plus some other
activities you might be interested in getting involved with.

OTHER BIRDING NEWS AND EVENTS
Game and Feral Animal Amendment Bill 2009
No doubt all Birding NSW members are astounded by the likelihood that
the NSW State Parliament will pass this Bill, which was proposed by
the Shooters Party. It has serious implications for other States as
well, as once the concept of hunting native wildlife in National Parks
is accepted in NSW we can expect it to be taken up elsewhere. Richard
Hunter, the CEO of Bird Observation & Conservation Australia (BOCA)
has forwarded us a copy of the letter that BOCA has sent to NSW MPs.
The Conservation sub-committee of Birding NSW is also sending a
letter. If you would like to send a personal letter to the Premier or
your local MP and would like to see the BOCA letter as a guide for
wording, let me know at the following Birding NSW email address birdi...@yahoo.com.au

the information I have suggests that the NSW Government is unlikely to
support the Shooters Party Bill. That being said, politics is all about
scratching someone's back in order to have one's own back scratched later.
There are at least two other bills for which the Government will require
support from one of the minority parties also pending in September.
As the author says, please write the appropriate members in NSW - The
Premier, Nathan Rees: thepr...@www.nsw.gov.au; and the Minister for
Climate Change and The Environment, Carmel Tebbutt:
dp.o...@tebbutt.minister.nsw.gov.au
Remember, every letter, every email helps. What will ultimately sway the
vote will be public opinion.
Thanks,
Paul Dodd

to the Greens at the next election (not until 2011). This makes it even more
important to lobby her office, particularly if you live in her electorate,
because she's likely to want to appease her constituency.
