Visit you local political representatives Write to Mr Howard and Mr Rudd |
NATIONAL ACTION!! for a FAIR GO for people with disability and their families. In the lead up to the Federal Election people with disability, their families, agencies and supporters across Australia, are coming together, to TAKE A STAND and FIGHT for the supports and services that should be there! The governments of Australia are negotiating a new Disability Agreement (CSTDA). They are deciding, in effect, whether or not they will provide the support services that people with disability and their families need over the next five years. To date, it looks as if they will not! We must send the clearest message, in the strongest possible way, that this is not acceptable! With an election approaching, maybe our politicians will listen!! YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED … WE ARE CALLING ON PEOPLE ACROSS AUSTRALIA TO 1: VISIT YOUR LOCAL FEDERAL POLITICIAN Tell your politician your story. Tell your politician that Australians in 2007 expect our elected leaders to make sure, as an absolute minimum, that people with disability and their families get the supports and services that they need! For more information click here. 2: WRITE A LETTER/SEND AN EMAILTO MR HOWARD AND TO MR RUDD Tell them your story. Tell them that people with disability and their families and supporters have been left with no choice but to take their case to the public and take a stand in the lead up to the election! 3: NATIONAL DISABILITY DAY OF ACTION - 25 SEPTEMBER 2007 Action is being planned to take place in every State and Territory between 12noon and 2.00pm on Tuesday 25th September.
