Conservation SA

THIS THURSDAY, SA Parliament votes on a motion that could shape the future of the Murray-Darling — including the 450GL of extra environmental water promised to SA.

As the state at the end of the river system, we have the most to lose. We want every MP, including the Liberal Opposition and One Nation, to stand united in backing the river.

It takes two minutes to email key MPs. Add a few lines in your own words for extra impact.

We are so excited to announce our upcoming DUMP SANTOS BIKE RIDE. Bring your bike, your lycra and your speed!

South Australia is proud to host the world-famous cycling race, the Tour Down Under. But there is a problem. The Tour Down Under is sponsored by the gas giant Santos.

Join us to call on Labor to dump Santos as a sponsor of the Tour Down Under!

We must protect the TDU, the tour has consistently been impacted by bushfires and temperatures over 40 degrees. Yet, the event is sponsored by gas giant Santos, who continue to expand massive new gas projects in the middle of a climate crisis.
