Is there anyway the funds raised for Australia could be better distributed? Both organisations are great and worthy, however, they only represent one state, New South Wales (NSW). As I understand WIRES legally cannot act outside of NSW. While many koalas have been harmed there, the safety net population on kangaroo island in South Australia (SA) was also hit hard. So far the bulk of the funding has gone to WIRES and not organisations based in SA or Victoria (Vic). Each state also has their own fire service. The RFS represents NSW, CFA represent la Vic and the CFS represents SA.
I believed that this agreement has already been finalized but I will give this feedback to our team. Thanks.
