Australian cricket champion Jason ‘Dizzy’ Gillespie is proud to be the Ambassador for World Kangaroo Day on October 24th

I’m Jason Gillespie. I’m a proud Kamilario man and ambassador for World Kangaroo Day.
On October 24th, please join me in celebrating our magnificent national icon. A native species that belongs to our land and deserves our love and respect. I’m incredibly disappointed about how our national icon, that is on our nation’s coat of arms, is treated and believe it’s time to stand up and show the world we care about the protection of our beloved wildlife.
On World Kangaroo Day tell our governments to stop the commercial killing of Kangaroos for pet food, shoes and handbags. It’s time to shift our thinking, and change the way we treat kangaroos.
Let’s join together and celebrate how important kangaroos are to Australian culture, the economic value they bring to tourism and the joy they bring to many people all around the world.
We look forward to sharing World Kangaroo Day with you all on October 24th.
