Camera glasses are moving quickly into the mainstream. Meta has sold more than 7 million pairs and hired Kylie Jenner to sell more. At $89, against several hundred dollars for the Meta version, the technology becomes widely accessible. Kmart describes the glasses as part of an "established and increasingly mainstream category" of wearable technology. Critics say that is precisely the concern: a major retailer bringing covert recording into ordinary shopping baskets normalises it before the public has had any say. Tom Sulston, head of policy at Digital Rights Watch, told the Guardian that camera glasses are "a privacy nightmare" and that Australian privacy law has not kept pace with the technology. Early reports of misuse have centred on women and children. A TikToker in the US was caught filming women in public with smart glasses and uploading the footage without their consent. RMIT's Dr Dana McKay warns the early reports of misuse are already targeting women, and that our privacy laws are nowhere near ready for cameras on people's faces. Parents commenting on Kmart's social media have raised the same question repeatedly: nothing prevents someone wearing the glasses into a change room, a swimming pool, a playground or a school gate. Australia's privacy laws were drafted before wearable cameras were widely available. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner says it is aware of community concerns and is monitoring the rollout, and has suggested that people worried about being recorded by another individual seek independent legal advice about whether other laws might apply. In practice, that leaves the decision with retailers. The Ask Kmart does not need a change in the law to act. Retailers withdraw products routinely. Sign the petition asking Kmart Group Managing Director Aleksandra Spaseska to withdraw the Anko camera glasses from Kmart stores and from the website. We know that fixing this problem requires more than a product recall – we need greater privacy laws to protect us. But our privacy laws are years behind this technology, and Kmart should not be selling covert surveillance tech while they catch up.

This campaign is about ensuring that millions of Australians living with chronic reproductive health conditions are no longer invisible in the data that shapes our nation's future. Conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis and PCOS affect education, employment, finances, relationships and overall quality of life. Yet without comprehensive national data, governments cannot fully understand the scale of these conditions or make informed decisions about healthcare funding, research, specialist services and support. This issue extends far beyond those living with these conditions. It affects families, employers, educators, healthcare providers and the Australian economy. Better data leads to better policy, more targeted investment and improved health outcomes for current and future generations. By joining this campaign, you are supporting evidence-based decision-making and helping ensure that women's reproductive health is recognised as a national priority. Together, we can advocate for national data that reflects the real experiences of Australians and creates lasting change. If we don't count these conditions, we can't fully understand them. And if we don't understand them, we can't effectively address them.

It is important because the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags represent two of the oldest continuing cultures in the world and are important symbols of identity, culture and community in Australia. Having these flags as emojis would make them easier to recognise and use online. People should join this campaign because adding these emojis would help show respect and recognition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and give everyone a simple way to celebrate and represent these important Australian flags.

This request is important because it addresses a clear and ongoing safety risk in an area with high pedestrian and cyclist activity. Deshon Street, particularly near the Turbo Drive intersection, is a key access point to the Norman Creek parklands, which are widely used for recreation, commuting, and exercise. Despite this, there is currently no safe, designated crossing point, forcing people to navigate fast-moving traffic in an unsafe and unpredictable way. The issue is not theoretical—it is based on lived experience, including near misses that highlight how dangerous the crossing can be, even when people are being careful. This demonstrates that the current road design does not adequately protect vulnerable road users such as children, parents, cyclists, runners, and walkers. Installing a pedestrian crossing would significantly reduce this risk by providing a clear, controlled point for crossing the road. It would improve safety, encourage active transport, and ensure better connectivity between both sides of the park. Importantly, it would also help prevent a potential serious injury or fatality in the future by addressing the hazard proactively rather than reactively.

This is detrimental to all of our communities long term. People are already facing dirty water, water shortages. Our land is being taken away & replaced with these centre’s that we all utilise so frequently. We need to think twice & stand together! 

The more residents who oppose this DA, the more power we have to include the council's decision and have an active voice in how this project is delivered (if approved).

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.

There are approximately 22,000 residents of Karratha, many of which are families. The health and safety of residents who make up the economy & community of Karratha should be of primary concern to the council.  If no immediate and significant action is taken, it is a matter of time before a member of the public including children are harmed by the countless needles & discarded hazardous materials including used condoms that are left in Karratha’s public playgrounds. At which point this will become a matter of legal consequence to the City of Karratha for failure to adequately and appropriately address the concerns consistently raised by members of the public along with failure to take reasonable action to mitigate the known risks. To date, this issue has already put many members of the public in danger. Children in our community have been harmed by discarded needles in public areas.  Concerned members of the public are the ones consistently baring the brunt of responsibility by picking up & discarding hazardous materials in public areas as well as having to spend time calling in and following up council action, with many reported hazards not being attended to in an appropriate time frame.  The City of Karratha enjoys an abundant economic landscape due to the contribution of the people and families who reside here. Ensuring the city of Karratha is a safe, responsive and healthy space should be of paramount concern to the council.

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.

Representative politics has been bastardized by 'party affiliation' - this is beyond repair in Australia. (perhaps in every western demacracy worldwide).  Our only remaining solution is a form of 'direct democracy' using modern technology and 'an alliance of independent candidates' party that will reflect the majority decisions of the constituents of each particular electorate on all issues. 

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.
