Koalas

Federal Liberal Candidate for Paterson, Brooke Vitnell, has announced this week she will advocate for Port Stephens to receive its fair share of the government's latest investment into the country's koala population. 

It's the first of its kind and will look at how reproductive stem cells can be used as a conservation tool for endangered wildlife species through biobanking.

Port Stephens community members are working with scientists to collect information to help save koalas in the region
