Cockatoos! Everyone loves cockatoos… except property developers apparently
Screeching sulphur-crests? Adorable.
Carnaby's & Baudin's blacks doing their thing in banksia heaven? Iconic.
But WA devs: 'Hold my bulldozer – these overpriced McMansions won't build themselves!'
Endangered woodland? What woodland?
Save our black cockies & their banksia home before it's all concrete & regrets.

"The Australian government’s decision to allow the US mining giant Alcoa to continue clearing swathes of Western Australian jarrah forest despite past illegal clearing practices was made in part due to a critical minerals deal reached between Australia and the Trump administration last year, a new document shows."
"...The government has prioritised corporate interests and foreign defence interests above the jarrah forests, the endangered species that rely on the forests and Perth’s drinking water – showing just how wrong their priorities are.”
“In the twisted logic of Australia in the Trump age, the national interest lies not in honouring and protecting the beauty and richness of our natural heritage, but in sacrificing it to foreign mining companies.”
