because if you dont in the next 10 year more than half of the worlds animals will go extinct we have to take action or the loss will be devastating

Being able to make going out possible for people in Aratula without cars 

Common Circus is so important to the community of Newcastle for some many reasons: 1. It is unique to Newcastle. It is a local business supporting local artists and creatives; 2. It employs in excess of 30 local people, primarily women, many either students and/or mums who require the hours and part time flexibility that Common Circus can offer whilst also providing a stimulating, collaborative, safe and friendly working environment; 3. The studio spaces upstairs housing photographers, stylists, designers, artists and other creatives are both hard to come by in Newcastle and also perfectly conducive to the work of that nature; 4. It is an icon, a destination, to be very proud of in Newcastle. It has turned a very quiet back street in Hamilton into a hive of connection, creativity and good coffee

Sign the petition calling for his resignation. We cannot have a premier that puts innocent Australians deliberately in harms way. We say no to a premier who facilitates violence on innocent Australians.

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.

Every year, millions of Australian school uniforms end up in landfill. Kids grow fast. Knees wear through. Zips are used as fidget toys. Uniforms that still contain valuable cotton and polyester are thrown away because there’s no easy way to recycle them. This is a solvable problem. Textile recycling is growing in Australia.  Responsible retailers now offer recycling. Why don’t uniform shops? The school is a convenient drop off point. Uniform shops have existing supply chains. That puts them in the great position to close the loop. Across Australia, families want to do the right thing — but without take-back schemes or recycling options, uniforms are destined for the bin. Meanwhile, textile waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the country. It;s time school uniform manufacturers to step up and take responsibility for the full life cycle of their products. Being responsible for the waste will also encourage them to design with durability and recyclability in mind. If we can recycle cans, bottles, phones, and tyres — we can recycle school uniforms. Our kids deserve a future that isn’t buried under yesterday’s uniforms.

Beyoncé isn’t just a concert. She’s a cultural moment. Her tours are about visibility, celebration, and belonging, and when Australia keeps getting skipped, it genuinely feels like we’re being left out of a global conversation. As a multicultural demographic, We show up, we stream, we buy, and we support her just as passionately as fans everywhere else, yet we don’t get the chance to experience it live. For so many of us, especially young people, queer fans, and people of colour, Beyoncé’s work is affirming. Experiencing Act III live isn’t about bragging rights. It’s about being in the room, feeling seen, and sharing that energy with a community that has waited years. Australia deserves the same joy, connection, and recognition as the rest of the world.

WA is the only state in Australia that still legally allows tenants to be evicted for no reason. That is the landlord can give a notice to vacate at the end of a lease or during periodic tenancy without cause. They can then re-advertise the property immediately with no penalty & raise the rent. WA has the least protections in the country for tenants, who are currently facing high rents, low vacancy rates, both threatened and actual homelessness and constantly moving due to these laws. Please support me in campaigning to change these laws, starting with banning “no-fault” or “no-grounds” evictions. 

Stop Craig Silvey from profiting from the children he so heinously exploited when he downloaded and distributed child sexual abuse content. Stop him from piggy backing off the backs of his victims. To allow him to continue to have a career aimed toward children is abhorrent.

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.

This is important for residents and services   1. Dangerous driving conditions, especially after heavy rainfall. The road gets narrow, and there are three blind corners on the road. 2. Damaged gravel providing an unsafe driving surface with ruts, corrugation and blocked gutters, especially after heavy rainfall. 3. Difficulties accessing homes when the road is significantly damaged from heavy rainfall. 4. Dust blown over homes, cars, children, cyclists and walkers. This also impacts those who suffer from athsma. 5. Poor driving conditions for special services such as Ambulance, Fire, Police, SAS and Garbage.
