Passion gets Animals Represented in NSW Parliament
Despite a tiny budget, but with of plenty of passion, the Animal Justice
Party won its first parliamentary seat by gaining the last seat in the
Legislative Council election in New South Wales today. At the preference
distribution count today the AJP ended up an easy winner for the final seat
ahead of the No Land Tax Party and the Liberal Party.
.
This is a historic result; as Party President and Founder Professor Steve
Garlick said: “This is the first time in Australia that animals will be
represented at a parliamentary level. We know that more than 80 percent of all
decisions made in Australian parliaments impact on the lives of animals and its
about time they had a voice representing their interests”.
.
Elected AJP candidate Mark Pearson will take up his position in the NSW
upper house in July and will have much to say about how the lives of farm,
domestic and wild animals in NSW can be improved.
Being the Executive Director of NSW Animal Liberation, Mark comes to this parliamentary role with considerable commitment and knowledge about how to stop animal cruelty.

Apart from supporting Mark in his new role in the Parliament of NSW, the
Party will now set its sights on a number of elections in 2016 where it hopes to
emulate its success and where it will target government supported extreme animal
brutality.

I would like
to thank all of you who supported us and voted for
animals.
You gave a
voice to the voiceless - thank you :))
Wie had dit gedacht ? Als ex-Australiƫr gewend aan veel dierenmishandelingen aldaar, lees ik met blijdschap dit bericht. Wat een vooruitgang voor dierenwelzijn. De naam is ook goed. Ik heb nog gemaild dat hun Engelse vertaling Party for the Animals een slechte vertaling is. Men leest: 'feest voor dieren'. Ik stelde voor The Political Partij for Animals . Zagen ze niets in. Dom !
