The world needs to promote goodness not badness.

NSW  We need a bus network that works for the passengers first  Privatised buses are for the profit of few at expence of the majority ... We demand a public transport system in public hands ...The present bus network is extremely disfanctional ...

Why is this important? Because this isn’t just about bikes—it’s about cost of living, common sense, and fair regulation. The QLD government seems to only care about optics and appealing to the Karens that are easily tricked by the sensationalist journalism of a current affair and are satisfied by knee jerk reactions and punitive punishments of all.  Right now, people are looking for ways to save money on fuel, avoid traffic, and get around efficiently. E-bikes are one of the few practical options that tick all those boxes. They’re cheap to run, accessible, and already widely used across Queensland. These proposed laws would make that harder—slowing riders to near walking pace and adding unnecessary restrictions. That doesn’t improve safety. It just makes a useful, low-cost transport option impractical. It also undermines millions of dollars of public investment in shared pathways that were built to be used—not crawled along at 10 km/h. Why should people join this campaign? Because this affects more than just e-bike riders. •  It impacts anyone trying to cut transport costs •  It affects families, who will lose a simple way for kids to get to school, sport, or part-time jobs  •  It affects communities and local businesses that benefit from active transport and tourism  •  It affects future policy direction—whether governments regulate based on evidence, or react to a minority with blanket rules  Most importantly, it’s about standing up against overreach. If these kinds of broad, poorly targeted restrictions go unchallenged, they set a precedent. Today it’s e-bikes. Tomorrow it’s something else. This is a chance to push for balanced, evidence-based rules that: •  target unsafe behaviour  •  protect access to practical transport  •  support the lifestyle Queensland promotes 

The current oil shock isn't over, and has not even worked its way to Australia in full, as of this writing. Projections are that mid April will be when deliveries are fully impacted. No one is coming to save us, we have to do this ourselves. Everyone has skills they can contribute to their local communities first, and our Australian society as a whole. Joining the campaign isn't just an email in a box, we need everyone to start working towards an Off Grid Australia. Plant food where you can, get to know your neighbours. You don't need to be friends, just friendly. Check in on your local elderly, establish and attend regular in-person meetings as well as local messaging groups (ie facebook groups). Prepare to support each other and be wary of any divisory tactics levelled by the media. There's no telling how bad this crisis may get. The global oil supply chain and the domestic goods supply chain is a fragile just-in-time model and this is our chance to mobilize away from it.

Everyone deserves good health, and also good dental health. Not just those with enough money, EVERYONE. I know people who have opted to have teeth extracted because the cost of care to keep our teeth is too high. The cost of leaving a person with infected teeth and gums can be painful at best, with ongoing infections, pain, abscesses, bone loss of the jaw, and sepsis, which left undetected can result in death. Is that an acceptable outcome, or can Medicare include dentistry to the scheme as a well overdue addition?

Because Australia is not just debating nuclear weapons in the abstract – it is moving deeper into the practical systems, facilities, and policies that could help enable them. The No Nuclear Weapons in Australia Declaration, backed by more than 150 Australian and Pacific organisations, including GetUp, warns that Australia is on a “current trajectory towards increasing involvement in the command, control, targeting, hosting and possible launch of nuclear weapons from Australia.” It specifically identifies the planned AUKUS hosting of US nuclear-capable B-52 aircraft in the Northern Territory and the planned hosting of US attack submarines which may again become nuclear-capable in coming years. Australia currently has “no legal ban” on foreign nuclear weapons being brought into Australia – or on being launched from Australia.   Current government policy raises further concerns. Australia’s 2024 National Defence Strategy says Australia’s “best protection against the increasing risk of nuclear escalation is US extended nuclear deterrence.” In February 2023, Defence Minister Richard Marles said Australia’s joint and collaborative facilities “support the effectiveness of the extended deterrence commitments the United States provides” and called that a “fundamental contribution” Australia makes to the alliance.  In other words, Australia is not standing outside the US nuclear posture – it is helping sustain it.   The risk is becoming more concrete under AUKUS and wider military integration. The Australian Submarine Agency states that from as early as 2027, one UK and up to four US nuclear-powered submarines will have a rotational presence at HMAS Stirling navy base in WA. Separately, the US Air Force says the B-52H Stratofortress “can carry nuclear or precision guided conventional ordnance,” and ABC reported US plans to deploy up to six B-52 bombers to RAAF Tindal.   The secrecy surrounding these plans and postures is deeply worrying. The US has a “neither confirm nor deny” policy on whether visiting submarines, ships, or planes carry nuclear weapons. In late 2025, Senate estimates heard there was “no impediment” to visits by dual-capable platforms and that Australia would continue to respect that US policy. That means Australians may never know whether nuclear weapons are being brought here.     Labor first committed to signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2018, reaffirmed that commitment in 2021 and 2023, but Australia still has not signed. Recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran, condemned by UN experts as unlawful and in violation of the UN Charter, show how quickly conflict can escalate and how easily closely aligned states can be exposed to the consequences without democratic say.  When it comes to nuclear weapons, we have a right to know – and we have a right to say No.

Across Australia, children are learning in classrooms that are getting hotter every year. At the same time, schools and childcare centres are facing rising electricity bills that put pressure on already stretched budgets. Solar panels and batteries offer a practical solution. Installing solar on schools and early learning centres would cut energy costs, freeing up funds for learning materials and student support. Batteries would allow schools to store energy and keep buildings powered during heatwaves, blackouts or other disruptions – helping protect students and staff when the grid is under pressure. Schools exist in almost every suburb, town and regional community. Solar installations on these buildings would create a nationwide network of local clean energy – strengthening communities and reducing pollution. There’s also a powerful learning opportunity. When solar panels and batteries are installed at schools, students can see renewable energy in action every day. It turns climate and energy education into something practical and real. Australia has the sunshine, the technology and the expertise to make this happen. With national leadership and coordinated investment, solar and batteries could be installed on thousands of schools and childcare centres across the country – delivering lower costs, cleaner energy and safer learning environments for millions of children. It’s time to Solar Our Learning. Every school and childcare centre deserves safe, resilient energy – and every community can benefit from local clean power. Solar and batteries on schools mean lower costs for education, safer classrooms during heatwaves, and a practical climate solution that helps the next generation learn and thrive. Add your name and call on the Australian Government to invest in solar and battery systems for every school and childcare centre across Australia!

With 1 in 3 Households struggling to afford food, it is very likely that someone that is quite close to you in your life (like a family member, coworker, or close friend) is experiencing hunger. Signing this petition can make it so they are able to eat a normal amount of food and don't have to worry about factoring in money they don't have to pay for overly inflated groceries.

Australians across the country are facing a serious cost-of-living crisis. The price of groceries, housing, electricity, insurance, and everyday essentials continues to rise, placing increasing pressure on households and small businesses. At the same time, Australians are paying a significant fuel excise tax on every litre of fuel they purchase. Fuel is not a luxury in Australia—it is a necessity. Millions of Australians rely on their vehicles to travel to work, transport their families, run businesses, and move goods across the country. When fuel prices rise, the cost of nearly everything rises with it, including food, transport, and services. Reducing or temporarily suspending the fuel excise would provide immediate financial relief for families, workers, and small businesses during a time when many Australians are struggling to keep up with rising costs.

Australians have been denied a say in whether we should participate in Donald Trumps illegal war on Iran. For decades, Australia has advocated in favour of the United Nations legal frameworks for international rule of law, human rights and the UN Charter which were all designed after World War 2 in order to prevent such atrocities ever occurring again. We must recommit to the world order and ensure Australia remains a strong independent voice for diplomacy and peace. We sign this petition with the hope that Prime Minister Albanese and all subsequent Australian Prime Ministers understand that we want Australia support the UN Charter and international law. Petition Addressed to the Australian Government, to be tabled in the Australian Parliament. Date of initiation: Thursday 12 March, 2026.

We need to make everyone feel heard. Some teens can only express their true emotions through emojis. This would make coming out a lot easier. Many also feel invalid because they dont have emoji to represent them. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!

Why Your Signature Matters Councils rarely act until residents force the issue into the public eye. When complaints come from one building or one resident, they are easy to ignore. But when thousands of Victorians sign their names, it becomes a public health issue that councils cannot quietly brush aside. This petition sends a clear message: Residents are tired of breathing other people’s exhaust in their own homes. Vehicle idling may seem like a small issue, but multiplied across thousands of streets every day it creates a constant stream of avoidable pollution. And the worst part? It is completely unnecessary. Switching off an engine takes one second. Installing a sign costs very little. But the impact on residential air quality can be immediate. Your signature helps: • Show councils this problem is widespread across Victoria • Push local governments to install “Switch Off Engine” signage • Protect residents — especially children, older people and those with asthma • Send a message that polluting residential streets is not acceptable Change often starts with something simple — people refusing to stay quiet about a problem. If enough Victorians speak up, councils will have no choice but to act. Add your name and help push this issue onto the public agenda. Because people should not have to breathe vehicle exhaust in their own living rooms. Sign the petition. Share it. And demand cleaner air for Victorian streets.
