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?

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!

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!

Children should not starve in Australian remote communities due to extortionist food pricing. This can be legislated.

Born in Yarloop Hospital, in the 1950s, first generation Australian from parents, fleeing war torn Europe.  The hospital  burned down in the 2016 bush fires that swept across the Darling scarpe and my family members only narrowly managed to save their farm house in the Wagerup hills.  I lived on a farm next door as toddler, waking up to the screeches of abundant red tailed black cockatoos, in the tall tree tops of a pristine forest. Today the only farm left in those beloved hills is surrounded by bare scorched earth and kilometres of rubber belts carrying the soul earth of our jarrah to the crushing plants.  Black cockatoos are so displaced, with loss of natural food sources and nesting trees in their native forest that they are now forced to invade suburbia, stripping what ever tree berries and nuts they can find, just to try and get some sustenance, to survive another day.  I see them in my Liquid amber tree scrounging for its meagre berries, and it breaks my heart. How cruel can our political leaders and Environmental Ministers be ?  Mistreating a domestic pet is punishable by law. But they turn a blind eye to Corporate greed, extinction of species  and mass destruction of biodiversity. As a teenager, I lived in Waroona when Dwellingup went up in flames. I spent many weekends and school holidays in those Northern Jarrah Forests and my uncles farms.  When I had kids, we went camping on the Murray river up in Dwellingup. Now they plan to extend the destruction. Strip mining through a European War  memorial. We may need jobs , revenue and aluminium - although easily substituted. But we need fresh air, fresh water and biodiversity even more -to survive.

too many people are being put at risk on the Stuart Highway every day. This highway is a major route through Australia, connecting remote towns and many Indigenous communities, but long distances, fatigue, high speeds and limited services make it dangerous. Families rely on this road for school, work, health care and visiting loved ones, so it should be as safe as possible. By raising money and awareness, we hope to support improvements that will reduce crashes, protect communities, and ensure everyone can travel safely and confidently.

"Look, imagine we find a chest of gold in our backyard. Right now, it feels like we’re letting some big company come in, take the gold, and leave us with a couple of bucks and a hole in the ground. Once that gold—our gas and iron ore—is gone, it’s gone forever" This isn’t just about ‘more tax’; it’s about making sure our kids aren’t the ones paying for it later. Here’s why I care so much: • A Fair Go for Everyone (The 'Norway' Story): In the 90s, Norway decided to tax their oil at 78%. They didn’t blow it; they put it in a 'piggy bank' (a sovereign wealth fund) that’s now worth over $2 trillion. That’s nearly $340,000 for every single Norwegian citizen. Meanwhile, Australia is set to collect more from student HECS debts than from the tax on our offshore gas. It just doesn't sit right that students are carrying a heavier load than billion-dollar gas giants. • Unlocking Potential through Education: Imagine if any Australian—no matter where they grew up or how much their parents earned—could go to uni or TAFE for free. We’d have a more skilled workforce, which research shows could boost our GDP by billions because a 1% increase in R&D investment alone can grow the economy by hundreds of millions. It’s about being a 'clever country' again. • Health Security for Life: We all love Medicare, but it’s under pressure. If we had a massive fund backing it, we wouldn’t need to worry about expensive private health insurance just to get a surgery. It would be world-class healthcare for everyone, paid for by the resources we already own. • Cleaner, Easier Commutes: Free public transport would be a game-changer for the cost of living—saving the average person around $5,500 a year. Plus, if we used that wealth to build a green, emission-free network, we’d be slashing our carbon footprint while making our cities less congested and better to live in. Basically, we’re sitting on a goldmine, but we’re acting like we’re broke. If we fix these taxes, we can build a future where 'prosperity' isn't just a word for shareholders, but something every Australian feels in their pocket and their daily life."

Mental health purposes, stress relief and having more time to spend doing things like hobbies or hanging out with your families and friends as the normal two days weekend really doesn't give you enough time to do those things.

If you, like me, are concerned about the direction our country will go if a Trump Tower is built in our country, then join me in objecting. This is not "just another high-rise". It carries the name of a US president who has repeatedly undermined democratic institutions, incited division, attacked the rule of law, and who faces multiple criminal indictments in his home country. His political brand has been associated globally with authoritarian rhetoric, attacks on minorities, and open contempt for democratic norms. Why would Australia choose to plant that brand on our skyline? This project promises luxury apartments and prestige branding – not affordable housing, not climate-resilient infrastructure, not community benefit. At a time when Australians are struggling with housing costs, rising inequality and corporate influence over politics, a big gaudy tower with Trump's name on it is the last thing we need!
