​

LET POLITICIANS KNOW YOU CARE (1)

These people are supposed to represent you. Contact them to let them know your views on the treatment of asylum seekers. Lets face it, they generally ignore their electors, especially those politicians holding safe seats, but they can't ignore a tsunami of emails and letters (...well, maybe)  

WRITE / PHONE / EMAIL POLITICIANS

​

​

FUNDRAISING

You can support Buddies fundraising events (eg concerts, film nights, catering, car parking, markets) in various ways (eg organising, publicising, assisting, attending, donating, cooking). 

Contact Kendall: snogs@tpg.com.au

​

​

SUPPORT LEARNING

You may be able to host an asylum seeker from Brisbane for 5 days while they attend a Learn English Holiday program on the Sunshine Coast.

LET POLITICIANS KNOW YOU CARE (2)

Vote strategically...  We are not suggesting who you should vote for, just that at election times, we should all think of what matters to us, and how our elected "representatives" actually do represent our views.

How does your MP vote on the issues that matter to you?
