Stand Up For Your Rights!

I can’t be bothered writing a full blog post on this, so I’m just going to copy and paste my tweets:

Please Australia. Stand up for yourselves! Write to your pollies. Call them. Email them. Harass them in every legal way. Keep it polite though, OK? You won’t help the cause by being abusive. Express your dismay, and call for your local member to break Labor Party rules and cross the floor on this issue.

It would also be great if you could participate in the Great Australian Internet Blackout on the 25th – 29th January.Also if there is an Australia Day protest in your area, please, please, please join in.

Also, don’t vote blindly at the next election. Even if you have been a Labor voter all your life, surely this issue is important enough to vote differently this once.
