Do you live in Victoria?
Have you ever sold, exchanged, or even offered a bird for sale outside of your own home or a pet shop?
If yes then YOU are affected by this.
Now is the time to act.
Now is the time to email or write to your local state MPs in both the upper and lower houses.
Use the previous template as a start or write your own note in support of the CCBFA amendment.
You can find all of the MPs contact details at this link - http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/members/results
We are working on a solution and there is great progress, however it is critical that all MPs are bombarded with letters and emails from those they serve. It will be debated in parliament NEXT WEEK - probably Wednesday 26th October 2016, so it's URGENT you write now.
Regards,
Sam

We are making real progress. The amendments we've put forward are currently under serious consideration by the Minister. As many of you know. the opposition and many cross benchers are in support too.
It was confirmed today that there is to be an upper house Committee Inquiry into the whole amendment Bill. We are already planning our submission.
It's not over by any means, but at last we can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep up the emails and letters to all MPs. They are definitely aware of us now!

I've recently completed a phone interview with WIN news Victoria. It will be one of the lead stories on tonight's 6pm news (Thursday 27/10/16).
A film crew is visiting Joy Pym's place. It was Joy's effort that alerted WIN to our issue.
I understand there is also an article in today's Latrobe Valley Express, which will appear online in due course.

There is quite a bit going on behind the scenes. Definitely not over, but there's a few positive signs.
