Australian Wildlife Society

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Australian Wildlife Society as they opened their brand new National Office in MacMahon Street in Hurstville last year. The Australian Wildlife Society was founded in 1909 and it is an Australia wide organisation dedicated to wildlife conservation. The Society is committed to increasing knowledge, understanding and the protection of local wildlife through boosting education programs and community involvement. The new National Office has been established to cope with their increased workload in recent years and greater community outreach. While I was unable to attend the launch event, I am determined to assist the Australian Wildlife Society in the future. I strongly believe that the work that they do in protecting our precious and unique native animals is so important and I am glad to see that the community feels the same. I would like to thank and congratulate President of the organisation, Suzanne Medway, and her team for all the hard work that they have put in to get themselves to this point. This is a fantastic achievement and I wish you all the best for the future.
