#WorldKangarooDay is tomorrow! There are events happening all across NSW – four in the Sydney CBD alone! I will be hopping (pun intended) from one to the next tomorrow morning between 10am and midday – please come and say hello! I will have hand sanitiser to give out, and lots of stories about kangaroos! […]
This a photo of me holding an issue of Good Weekend that I have kept since December 1997, when it was published. The striking cover shows a gorgeous piglet, with the following written underneath: “ ‘What about me?’: It’s strong on cats and dogs, but has the RSPCA abandoned farm animals?” The feature story inside, […]
Mr Hugh Marks Chief Executive Officer and Director, Nine Dear Mr Marks, I write to you with an urgent plea: do not broadcast the Million Dollar Chase on October 16, 2020. Earlier this month, Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) announced the TAB Million Dollar Chase Grand Final will be shown live on […]
Again and again, the NSW Government keeps failing koalas. Today, with the expert guidance of Save Sydney’s Koalas, I submitted my personal objection to the Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan. You can read my full submission below, but you don’t need to write your own to object the Plan. I urge you to simply sign Save […]
Koalas on the north coast and the Pilliga region will face extinction if the NSW Government and Santos get their way, NSW Upper House MP for the Animal Justice Party, Mark Pearson has said. “In less than a week two death knells have sounded for koalas in NSW,” Mr Pearson said. On Tuesday night (October […]
John Barilaro’s decision to ignore EPA advice and insist Forestry Corp continue logging is a “prime example” of the NSW Government’s prioritisation of money over the environment, NSW Upper House MP for the Animal Justice Party, Mark Pearson has said. “The Deputy Premier needs to read the room and really listen to what his constituents […]
A mandatory review by the NSW government into the Greyhound Racing Act 2017 is censoring opinion from the public, Mr Pearson claims. The review is currently accepting submissions from the public, but does not include consideration of a greyhound racing ban. “It’s censorship to disallow a ban to even be discussed, and extremely hypocritical given […]
Mulesing will cost the Australian woolgrowing industry its future if it continues, AJP MP Mark Pearson has reiterated following the release of a new industry report. “Moving away from mulesing makes ethical and economic sense, and this report has proven that from the perspective of the farmers who have already done it,” said Mr Pearson. […]
A bill that mandates pain relief for mulesing and would eventually ban the practice entirely in NSW has been sent to an inquiry for consideration. The inquiry will allow the public to comment on the bill, which AJP MP for NSW, Mark Pearson, has encouraged the community to do. “Getting this bill sent to an […]
A NSW Upper House committee inquiring into koala populations and habitat in New South Wales today tabled its report, urging the government to act to protect koalas and their habitat or else koalas will be extinct in NSW before 2050. Deputy Chair of the Committee, the Hon. Mark Pearson MLC, said: “The threat of extinction […]
Mark Pearson, NSW MLC for the Animal Justice Party, has spoken out against the NSW government’s draft ‘welfare code of practice’ for greyhounds. The code would allow the greyhound racing industry to keep dogs in 3-square-metre cages for 24 hours a day. “These are battery cages for dogs,” Mr Pearson said. “This code of ‘welfare’ […]
A NSW Upper House committee inquiring into animal cruelty laws in New South Wales today tabled its report, urging the government to establish an independent statutory body, the Independent Office of Animal Protection, to oversight the animal welfare framework. The Chair of the Committee, the Hon Mark Pearson MLC, said: “This inquiry has demonstrated that […]
Mark Pearson, NSW MLC for the Animal Justice Party, has spoken out against the clearing of bushland at Manyana for development just months after the region was decimated by fires.
