Combining Voices with Optus, Speaking Out for Whales

I’ve been asked more than once since the start of Give Whales A Voice about how we came to work with Optus. There has been both enthusiasm and a healthy dose of scepticism as to why a big company would be interested in an anti-whaling campaign.

The scepticism is understandable, but the reality is that working with Optus gives us the ability to reach more people than we could have alone. For me, it’s about being able to communicate our messages in a simple but inspiring way and with as many people as possible.

And of course the Optus brand has been linked with animals, including whales, for quite some time.



Give Whales a Voice is the next phase of WSPA’s ongoing work to bring an end to whaling. By working with Optus this year we hope to engage more Australians than ever before to help achieve this goal. We’ve made a good start, but time is running out.

The International Whaling Committee is meeting on 21 June to vote on a deal to legitimize commercial whaling. We need your words to tell them, in no uncertain terms, that we believe whaling is wrong and should be stopped.

Thanks to the support of Optus, you have the chance to make a difference. Have you recorded your word yet?
