Many members of the Asquith community have shared their experiences of near misses, and there are reports of previous collisions involving pedestrians. These incidents demonstrate that this is not an isolated problem but an ongoing safety issue requiring urgent attention. Asquith is experiencing significant residential growth, increasing the number of pedestrians using this crossing every day, including school children, commuters, older residents, and people with disabilities. The current road design is not adequately protecting these vulnerable road users.

This is an important project that affects every visitor to Harris Park BUsiness precincts and the businesses at Harris Park.

In today's age where information flows freely, it is crucial that the details of convicted sex offenders, including their names and addresses, are made legally available for public access. This will empower individuals to make informed decisions about their safety and the safety of their families. Currently, in many regions around the world, individuals are left in the dark about the potential threats lurking within their own neighborhoods. By making such crucial information accessible, we can prevent further trauma and foster trust within our communities.

People should join this campaign because Queensland’s drug-driving laws are medical discrimination, and the harsher penalties risk becoming revenue raising at the expense of prescribed medicinal cannabis patients. Patients can take their medication as prescribed, experience no impairment, and still face fines and lose their licence simply because THC is detected. Road safety laws should target impairment, not punish patients for legally prescribed medication. With higher fines and expanded roadside drug testing coming, we must act now.

This is important as it will support family members who feel stranded at the hospitals. It also affects almost all of Australia's rural communities, and there are a lot of them out there. There are approximately 15 to 25 patients are flown into major city hospitals (like those in Melbourne) by hospital helicopters every day. While exact national statistics specifically measuring how many rural patients feel stranded after hospital visits are not formally published, broad data shows it is a systemic issue; with nearly 10% of all public hospital beds in Australia being occupied by "stranded" patients. One patient, Jane (not real name), was an elderly woman who was a fall risk. She was given medication the day she was discharged from The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. Jane was told to go home with no support, and she had no family or friends around to help her. Thanks to a kind bed neighbour in the hospital, she was given a room at a nearby hotel for two nights before she caught a train and a bus home to Mildura. Without the help of that bed neighbour, Jane would have been expected to catch that train and bus home for an 8 hour trip before she felt fully stable. It should have been the hospital or the government that aided Jane in getting home, not another hospitalized patient.

This petition isn't about encouraging illegal graffiti or suggesting every tag deserves protection. Quite the opposite. It's about recognising that, on very rare occasions, something captures the public imagination in a positive way. When that happens, perhaps the best response isn't to immediately paint over it, but to acknowledge that public art sometimes appears in unexpected ways. Keeping Pam would: • Preserve a piece of spontaneous urban culture that has resonated with thousands of Victorians. • Celebrate Melbourne's reputation as Australia's street art capital. • Save taxpayers the cost of immediately removing something that many people genuinely enjoy. • Add a little colour, humour and character to an otherwise ordinary stretch of concrete. • Demonstrate that governments can occasionally recognise when the public has spoken—and have a laugh with us. Cities all over the world are remembered for the little things that give them character. Melbourne shouldn't be afraid to embrace one of its newest accidental mascots. So let's leave Pam where she is. Not because she's perfect. Not because graffiti should always stay. But because every now and then, Australia deserves to keep something that's simply made people smile. Sign this petition if you believe Pam the Bird should remain on the Bolte Bridge as a unique and much-loved part of Melbourne's urban landscape. Don't scrub the bird. Let Pam fly. 

NEPT is essential. It safely transports patients who still need clinical support but don’t require an emergency ambulance. If it’s privatised further, we’ll see: ❌ Loss of experienced NEPT staff ❌ More pressure on emergency ambulances ❌ Longer wait times for vulnerable patients ❌ Reduced accountability and inconsistent care ❌ More strain on an already struggling health system Privatisation might look like a cost‑saving measure, but the real cost will be paid by patients and frontline workers. Victoria deserves a safe, reliable, publicly accountable NEPT system. 👉 

it creates a stronger community, gives young people a sense of purpose and provides a healthier lifestyle.

We should stop the killing of animals in Morocco for the 2030 World Cup because no sporting event should come at the cost of animal lives. Humane solutions such as vaccination, sterilization, shelters, and adoption programs can manage stray animal populations without cruelty. "Is football more important than those 4 million little souls?"

Whilst people who might be more active on this front have been distracted by events overseas, the AI industry has crept up on us.  We are aware that there will be serious impact on employment, especially at entry level, and there is potential for enormous disruption across our society, for which we are singularly unprepared. We rely on our governments to regulate such industries in our interests, but it’s becoming apparent that government has also been caught unprepared. This is why a Federal government declared Moratorium on all development is now essential. And we need people better informed and prepared to work harder in the public interests than those currently vetting its development. 

Because humans evolved in symbiosis with nature through plant medicine teachers, and throughout history those in power have sought to restrict access to our plant teachers, because they want to control our thoughts and beliefs. Indigenous wisdom keepers were criminalised, oppressed, forbidden and incarcerated for using their ancestors tools for the soul, by colonisers, and told to use poisons like alcohol. The result is a global disconnection from spirtit, self, others, the planet and humanity. Entheogenic plant medicines can reconnect us to everything in an empathetic way so all beings can live in symbiosis. Wars will end and we can become one race "THE HUMAN RACE". This was our evolutionary tragectory before the evil of religions, colonisation, greed, corruption and capitalism became the chosen path for humanity. The current way is not working and the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We need a global reset, and this is that global reset. And as a side effect plant medicines will cure or at least greatly reduce human suffering from, depression, addiction, loneliness, suicide, PTSD and will make them feel one with their creator.

We, the undersigned, demand that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns publicly rule out the construction of a nuclear submarine base in Port Kembla. Secret government documents – only released after a freedom of information fight – confirm Port Kembla is the government's preferred east coast base site. Both federal and state government representatives have refused to rule it out. Delaying a formal decision is an attempt to evade accountability while locking in the plan. Government documents show that an accident at a submarine base in Port Kembla's outer harbour would require immediate evacuation within at least 600 metres and further evacuations up to 1.4 kilometres downwind – covering almost every residential street in the suburb, including local schools and health facilities. Our community has never been consulted about this risk. We also oppose any move to designate the base "Critical State Significant Infrastructure" – a classification that would strip Illawarra residents of their legal right to challenge the decision in court. The billions proposed for this base should instead be invested in what our community actually needs: health, housing, clean energy, education, and environmental repair. We stand with WAWAN, the South Coast Labour Council, ICAN Australia, and the forty organisations of the Port Kembla Declaration. Rule it out. Not here, not anywhere.
