Taking Last-Minute Action on the Proposed Reforms



Hi everyone,

Well Parliament is due to sit on Monday, and we have the promise of the proposed changes going through as soon as possible

BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE! There is still time to do your bit and ask our representatives to VOTE AGAINST THE BILL.

First, go to www.getup.org.au and sign the Petition there.

Second, email some or all of the following people (as well as your local Labor member), asking them to vote against the bill:

Liberals:
Marise Payne senator.payne@aph.gov.au
Bruce Baird Bruce.Baird.MP@aph.gov.au
Petro Georgiou P.Georgiou.MP@aph.gov.au
Judi Moylan J.Moylan.MP@aph.gov.au
Russell Broadbent Russell.Broadbent.MP@aph.gov.au
Steven Ciobo Steven.Ciobo.MP@aph.gov.au
Patrick Secker P.Secker@aph.gov.au

John Forrest j.forrest.mp@aph.gov.au (National)
Kay Hull kay.hull.mp@aph.gov.au (National)
Barnaby Joyce senator.joyce@aph.gov.au (National)

Tony Burke Tony.Burke.MP@aph.gov.au (Labor)
Kim Beazley Kim.Beazley.MP@aph.gov.au (Labor)

Steve Fielding senator.fielding@aph.gov.au (Family First)

This thing is going to hit the table on MONDAY MAY 8th. There will no doubt still be MPs who have not yet decided which way to vote. NOW IS THE TIME TO APPLY PRESSURE!
