The Cooks River Wilderness Society Community Group invites you to a screening of Regenerating Australia- a short film about what Australia ‘could be’.
Regenerating Australia follows a diverse group of Australians over a four-month interview process as they share their hopes and dreams of the country’s future.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion with the Cooks River Group and other local environmental groups.

Right now, the Australian government is reforming our broken nature law.

Currently, their proposals are riddled with loopholes and won’t actually stop deforestation and extinctions.
The government has an urgent, once-in-a-generation opportunity to step up and pass nature laws that work.  

That means: 

• Stopping deforestation
• Ending the extinction crisis; and
• A fair say for communities, not just corporations.

Please join the Cooks River team for a night of learning and sharing with individuals within the Reid electorate and beyond, to demonstrate our commitment to stronger nature laws so that we can decide what Australia’s future will be.

RSVP in the top right of the page.

Date: Tuesday 21 May, 2024

Time: 6-7:30pm (starts 6.15pm sharp)

Location: Burwood Community Hub (inside Burwood Library), 2 Conder St, Burwood NSW 2134

Sustenance: snacks and drinks will be provided/available

As a local community, we have a particularly important role to play at this moment. If we demonstrate that we care about nature laws that actually protect forests and stop extinctions, our Federal Member of Parliament, Sally Sitou, will know this issue matters to her constituents and community. She will understand that passing mediocre laws, or failing to pass the laws nature needs, is too risky for her. She will then raise our shared concerns, and combined with the other MPs we are targeting, will influence the outcome of this reform process. 

Join us for a short film where we reimagine our future and take collective action to help send this much needed message to our elected representative.

See you there!
