DUCK HUNTING = KILLING FOR FUN 🦆🔫 Georgie Purcell MP: "It’s never been about ‘food’ — it’s always been about killing for fun." Do you support the Allan Labor Govt's decision to allow people to injure and kill native wildlife for "recreation"? #SpringSt #VicPol #Vote1AJP #Birds #Wildlife #Animals

20,000 CHICKENS BURNED ALIVE A poultry shed that was destroyed in a fire near Maitland, NSW, may have had up to 20,000 chickens inside, the Rural Fire Service has confirmed. Firefighters were called to the Luskintyre property on Monday. www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/917149... #AusPol #NSWPol

AMAZING CHICKENS ❤️🐓 Chickens are intelligent, social, recognise individual faces, form close friendships and communicate using dozens of distinct sounds. They purr when content, much like companion cats, and choose favourite companions to dust bathe and roost beside. Take action: bit.ly/3M1yYJQ

NSW GOVT REVERSES SHOCK COLLAR BAN Emma Hurst MP: "Shock collars hurt. That’s the point. The Govt just reversed the ban so electric shock collars can be used on cows. But we are fighting this. We've moved a disallowance in Parliament to stop this cruelty before it starts. Watch this space." #AusPol

NIGHT OF CARNAGE The death of one dog should be enough to call this industry of exploitation into question. And yet hundreds of dogs are killed each year by greyhound racing. The public has had enough. It's time for governments to act. #AusPol #Dogs #WAPol #AJP www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
