The world needs to promote goodness not badness.

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.

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.

War is terrorism 

South Australians deserve the truth about our rivers, coasts, and communities. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a growing crisis — but decisions are being made behind closed doors, with science suppressed and data withheld. The HAB Transparency Pledge is a simple tool: It asks every candidate in the upcoming state election to commit to full, timely, and publicly accessible transparency. That means releasing the evidence, the advice, and the decisions — without political interference. This isn’t partisan. It’s public accountability. If they want our votes, they can sign the pledge. Let’s make transparency the minimum standard. Ask your candidate to sign. Share the pledge. Hold them to it.

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.

The Childcare Sector is in Crisis – And We Need Your Help NOW! The future of childcare in Australia is hanging by a thread, and we’re running out of time. The Victorian and NSW governments have quietly introduced staggering increases to service approval fees, and if they’re allowed to stand, the consequences will be catastrophic. The truth is, most childcare services in these states simply cannot afford these increases – some fees will skyrocket by up to ten times their current amount, increasing service costs by thousands of dollars per year. This isn’t just a small change. It’s a devastating blow that will force many services to close their doors, leaving families without the vital care and education their children deserve. But it’s worse than that. The legal grounds for these fee hikes are unclear at best. The state governments have kept these increases hidden, with no transparency or advance notice, leaving providers unable to plan or budget. These sudden, secretive hikes are not just unfair – they’re unethical. This isn’t just a financial blow to childcare services – it's a direct attack on the very heart of early childhood education. Family Day Care services, which are already running on razor-thin margins, are at serious risk. If these fees aren’t overturned, we will see entire services forced to close, staff laid off, and educators lose their livelihoods. Worse, families will be left with nowhere to turn for quality childcare, and many parents will be forced to leave their jobs because they can no longer afford care. The sad reality is, most Australian families can’t afford full daycare fees as it is. The Child Care Subsidy is limited, and these hikes will only make things worse. Providers will have no choice but to pass these costs onto families, making childcare even less affordable and putting more families in a crisis of their own. This will trap parents at home, unable to work, and destroy careers in the process. We are facing disaster – and we have to act NOW to stop it. We can’t let this happen. We need every single voice – every single one of you – to speak up and demand that these fee increases be reversed immediately. If we don’t, we risk losing the childcare services that so many families depend on, and the dedicated educators who nurture our children’s futures. Please, join the fight. Speak out, sign petitions, reach out to your local MPs, and make sure your voice is heard. Our sector is too important to lose. Our children’s future is too important to gamble with. Let’s protect childcare. Let’s protect our families. Time is running out – act now!

Why this is important Animals are completely dependent on humans for their safety and wellbeing. When cruelty or neglect occurs, like what happened to Arnie, the beloved German Shepherd and the law fails to deliver real consequences, it sends a terrible message: that animal lives don’t matter.  Weak penalties, such as community service without conviction, do not prevent future abuse, do not honor the suffering endured, and do not reflect the values of a compassionate society. Strengthening animal cruelty laws is crucial to ensure that anyone who harms an animal faces real accountability. Strong laws protect animals, reflect community standards, and act as a deterrent so that no more innocent creatures suffer needlessly.  Every dog, cat, horse, and pet deserves protection and Queenslanders deserve laws that ensure that cruelty is taken seriously.

This issue is important because the failures of the Family Court do not exist in isolation — they directly contribute to unsafe conditions for women and children. Australia has no shortage of inquiries, coronial inquests, and expert reports showing that domestic and family violence is a leading cause of serious harm and death. Yet the Family Court continues to make decisions that expose women and children to known risks, particularly after separation…. the most dangerous time for victims. When violence is minimised, when perpetrators are granted access despite warning signs, when contact centres fail to act, and when protective parents are disbelieved, the system becomes an active participant in harm.  They create conditions where abuse escalates, where children are traumatised, and where women and children are killed. Too often, the warning signs are visible in hindsight: • ignored disclosures • dismissed fears • court-ordered contact despite risk • a system more concerned with parental entitlement than safety The Family Court has the power to interrupt violence, but instead, it frequently enables it. This is not only a family law issue. It is a public safety issue, a women’s safety issue, and a child protection issue. When state systems fail to respond to violence, responsibility does not disappear, it shifts onto victims, often with fatal consequences. People should join this campaign because silence allows this to continue. Because every time the system fails to act on risk, it sends a message that violence can be excused, minimised, or endured. Because reform delayed is harm repeated. Change is necessary to prevent further deaths, to protect children before they are harmed, and to ensure women are not forced to choose between complying with court orders and keeping themselves and their children safe. This campaign is about accountability, prevention, and saving lives.
