Why do we need the Agmates Community Network?
The Agmates Community Network was launched on the 24th of June 2009 by its founder Steve Truman. Agmates has a staff of one – Steve but is backed up by our team of dedicated member volunteers.
The real work and impact of Agmates is achieved through our members, who identify the issues through their posts and engagement with each other.
That engagement leads to calls for action. The members then coordinate the emails, the phone calls, the event and supply the financial support.

Get to know your ETS, Take it out to Dinner.
Senator Barnaby Joyce writes: It has become apparent that there is a general lack of understanding in the community about exactly what an ETS is. People may understand the sentiment that surrounds it but they don’t really understand how it works and how it will affect them.
The ETS, which will be the Employment Termination Scheme or the Extra Tax System, take your pick, has not been properly explained to the Australian people away from the politics that surround it. There is a need to explain exactly what it is and how much it will cost the Australian consumer.
