Invitations to politicians and  guests

Each year the committee extends invitations to politicians to attend the festival.

​We understand  Ministers and Senators  have a very busy schedule and are not always available to attend personally but in the past they have sent messages of encouragement acknowledging our community efforts to help protect the cassowary.

This year we invited the Queensland Environment Minister the Hon Meaghan Scanlon; Queensland Transport and Main Roads Minister, the Hon Mark Bailey;  Acting Threatened Species Commissioner, Dr Fiona Fraser; Senator Larissa Waters and our adopted cassowary ambassador Peter Garrett.
