Jimmy,School Striker When the challenges we face seem huge, it is reassuring to talk to some who has been campaigning longer than most. Margaret Blakers advises on why legal responsibility for the environment must ultimately remain with the federal government and not be handed over to the state governments. "It has to be on the desk of the prime minister of the country if koalas are going to be sent extinct."
