The premier and his ministers do not have the power to order Queensland’s Department of Environment, Science and Innovation to return the bird.video shared in March, the couple said they had previously attempted to get a permit. They were “devastated” to lose the bird, they said. “We did everything in our power to work with the department, including training and also me obtaining my wildlife permit, which, after a period of time, I had to retract my application, as it was a bit of a conflict to our page,” Mortensen said.
In a social media message on Wednesday, Miles said the bird “is in great spirits and is receiving good care” in the hands of the department.
