Have just been advised by Peter Schuback that our Petition is what is known as a conforming E-Petition.
This means that the Petition conforms and can be presented to the QLD Parliament by the sponsoring State MP.
LNP member for Burnett and AGMates Community member Rob Messenger to his full credit had also offered to sponsor the petition, however Peter’s local member LNP MP for Harvey Bay Ted Sorensen has got in first and signed up as the sponsoring MP.
We have just sent an invite off to Ted to join this Democracy For QLD – Re-Instate our Upper House community site which will be campaign central. The E-Petition is the first step in what will be an ongoing campaign to firstly:
1. Pressure the Labor Government into calling a referendum on the issue.
2. Campaign for a yes Vote at that Referendum.
Here is the conforming Petition.
Please print it off and take it to shops, markets or anywhere that people are likely to see it and to sign it. Once you have sheets completed, post them off to Peter Schuback (his address is on the sheet).
Our Goal is to collect 200,000 signatures before its presented to State parliament. I’ll let you know as soon as the E-Petition is available on the QLD Government web site.
Please tell your friends.
