We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Neville Fay.
Nev was a champion of ancient trees. A prolific author researcher and innovator, a kind and generous man, he will be fondly remembered and missed by many.
He made the world a better place. 💜💚

We are deeply saddened by the planned destruction of Victoria Park in Brisbane and the disrespectful treatment of First Nations Custodians.
Shame on the Crisafulli government.

STATEMENT: A SHAMEFUL DAY IN A YEAR MARKED WITH DISRESPECT

May 30 2026

Yesterday, we witnessed the culmination of more than a year of sheer disrespect in the Crisafulli government’s treatment of First Nations custodians and our broader community.

The heavy handed and disproportionate response to advocates standing in peaceful resistance to the destruction of ancient land, trees and springs was a shameful scene belonging to another era.

But what did we expect?

This government’s concerted campaign to open up Victoria Park Barrambin for development knows no bounds.

It has been a toxic 18 months of solemn promises broken, hard-won laws dismantled and advocates disgracefully belittled.

When a community cannot trust its leaders, when our rights are stripped away for short-term political convenience, where do we go from here?

WE CALL ON THIS STATE GOVERNMENT TO:

- Pause the planned destruction of Victoria Park Barrambin

- Respect the Section 10 federal legal process currently underway and the calls of elders who have said very clearly that Barrambin is a culturally sacred place and should be protected

- Read the expert report warning large-scale construction in this park will threaten irreplaceable springs and ancient trees

WE URGE THE OLYMPICS MOVEMENT TO:

- Enact the principles it so often espouses – of inclusion, sustainability, of peace. If the 2032 Games continues on its current trajectory, its legacy will be the opposite: division, exclusion, debt and destruction.

No matter how much our politicians try to denigrate Victoria Park Barrambin, they can never erase the special place this landscape holds in the hearts of so many.

We are not going anywhere.

This is not a done deal.

The WA government abandons plans to burn a parcel of forest that is home to a species of rare tree after a 70-year-old man spent six nights living in the canopy.
