Dear Jill
On behalf of all the subscribers - anyone who disagrees will
have me to deal with ! - warmest congratulations on your work
and the paper.
We need more of this sort of thing to help us all learn: bird
conservation is about people more than it is about birds.
And the symbolism is enormously important. I can now go to
developers (and my blessed Council) and say "it's not new - it's
been done, you have no excuse".
Since it is election day in Queensland, I wonder how much of the
change is actually about the environment. The press wrote up
the WA results as if it all had to do with "Pauline Hanson's One
Nation Party" (pronounced fonp) whereas my impression is that
the anti-logging debate was very important.

PS If any of you saw the Channel 10 programme about "Schoolies
Week" last night, yes that was my son Stephen (I'm mainly proud
to say).
