This issue is important because it affects a large number of long-term permanent residents who rely on the Subclass 155 Resident Return Visa to maintain their lawful status in Australia. Many of these individuals have lived, worked, and contributed to Australia for many years, paying taxes and participating in the community. Despite this, the recent significant increase in application fees places an additional financial burden on people who are already established members of Australian society. The Subclass 155 visa is often a straightforward application with minimal processing requirements, yet the cost has increased to a level that may not reflect the administrative effort involved. If left unaddressed, this may discourage long-term residents from maintaining their residency status, creating unnecessary stress and uncertainty for families and individuals who have built their lives in Australia. For these reasons, it is important that this issue is reviewed to ensure visa fees remain fair, reasonable, and proportionate.

Many families, pensioners and hardworking people choose instalments because it's the most responsible way to manage their finances—not because they want special treatment. Penalising people for paying in a way that helps them cope with the cost of living is unfair.

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

Our formal is one of the biggest events of Year 12, and it should be a celebration at the end of the year after we've finished all our hard work. It's been an end-of-year tradition for years, and moving it back would make the night feel much more special. It also gives everyone more time to save money, organise outfits, and enjoy better weather. By signing this petition, you're showing that you want our formal to be the best it can be. The more people who support it, the more likely the school is to listen. Every signature counts, so if you want to keep this tradition going and make the formal a better experience for everyone, please join the campaign.

Queenslanders deserve road safety measures that actually protect people, not systems that feel designed to catch them out. Every driver understands that speeding can be dangerous. But the goal should be to make people slow down before something goes wrong — not hide on the side of the road and wait until after the risk has already happened. We are sick of having our tax dollars set to catch us out rather than make our roads safer. Visible police, clear signs, and properly placed cameras remind drivers to do the right thing in the moment. That protects families, young drivers, workers, school kids, and everyone sharing our roads. This campaign matters because road safety should be about prevention, fairness, and trust. Queenslanders should support a system that helps people drive safer — not one that feels like revenue raising in disguise.

There is a highly concerning growing trend of young kids & teens getting extremely drunk on Vanilla Essence, which is available on supermarket shelves & contains 35% alcohol, which is an extremely high level & potentially toxic. The bottles are small so kids can easily drink more than 1 bottle. 

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?"

Gina Reinhardt is not a Queenslander. Israel is a foreign nation whose politicians are committing a genocide in Gaza. Elon Musk is a US citizen who has no interest in the welfare of Queenslanders.

The public are being denied use of an attractive track beside Morse's Creek. 

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. 

We're losing one of the very few and far areas in bendigo where people are able to sit down and relax, enjoy a meal whilst their children are entertained by the play ground and live music that takes place every thursday. The monthly night markets will be stopped and people won't be able to share their passions and interests with others, so many small businesses effected by the lack of throught behind this action.

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.
