  • Chatting with Robyn, Lamb Care Australia

    Chatting with Robyn, Lamb Care Australia
    Jun 6 2021
    Thanks to the incredible work of my team, not only did we secure the most animal friendly budget ever seen in Victoria, but for the first time ever, farm animals were included.   Since this exciting announcement I’ve been travelling around Victoria visiting many of the incredible organisations who were successful. It won’t be possible to visit all of them in person, so today I’m chatting online with one of the successful applicants, Robyn from Lamb Care Australia.   Lamb Care Australia is a charity that rescues and rehomes orphaned lambs who are born during the lambing season in Victoria. Their primary focus is rehoming neglected and orphaned lambs, most of which come into care as extremely sick and vulnerable newborns.

  • Chatting with Angela the President of Project Hope Horse Welfare

    Chatting with Angela the President of Project Hope Horse Welfare
    Nov 28 2020

    Project Hope Horse began 50 years ago back in 1973 when Val Collingwood wrote into RIDER magazine about the number of neglected horses in Australia and a way to help them. Her idea was to co-ordinate the rescue and rehabilitation of horses subjected to maltreatment or abuse.

    Val’s letter resonated with RIDER's readers and the scheme was organised with Val leading the charge. The scheme took off and in 1993 became a registered charity with the name Project Hope Horse Welfare Victoria.

    Horse welfare is on the forefront of a lot of Victorians minds. And to me personally, these gentle, kind animals have a special place in my heart. That’s why this year I have asked the government to allocate some money in this year’s state budget to support the vital work of Project Hope. Listen in to hear what this money would mean for Project Hope Horse Welfare and for improving horse welfare throughout Victoria.

  • Chatting with Samantha from Maneki Neko Cat rescue

    Chatting with Samantha from Maneki Neko Cat rescue
    Nov 8 2020
    Across Australia, approximately 80,000 cats and kittens are killed each year. Some are only days old. Evidence shows the best way to combat this crisis is by offering desexing that is truly accessible. That doesn’t just mean free or affordable - it means convenient to access and an easy process.   I been strongly advocating for subsidised desexing and have been calling for more subsidised desexing initiatives in the upcoming state budget.   As a rescue organisation working on the front line, Samantha will share her experience of the issues around desexing and the role subsidised desexing would play in saving thousands of cats and kittens.
