Carolyn Male MP acknowledging Steve Irwin Day in Parliament
I had the pleasure of the company of more than 350 people last Saturday night at the Steve Irwin Day Gala Charity Ball.It was an opportunity to once again honour the memory of one of the world’s true conservationists, a man of the earth and a great Australian.
It was also a chance for everyone to pledge themselves to Steve’s dream and Steve’s dream was to preserve places like the Wenlock.
One of the biggest cheers last Saturday night came when Australia’s leading crocodile expert Professor Craig Franklin called for everyone to fight for the Wild Rivers legislation.
And that is what we all must do. Today is Steve Irwin Day. A today to celebrate all of the magnificent attributes that Steve had.
He was a strong and caring man. Family oriented. Hardworking. Loyal. He was a friend to all animals and a tireless conservationist.
Steve was the original Wildlife Warrior - and I now ask everyone here to join the cause. Become a Wildlife Warrior - and save the Reserve and the Wenlock River. » more
