Write a letter of protest now!
Letter writing (or sending emails) is an effective way of getting our message to the politicians making decisions on our behalf. Please write as many and as often as the urge takes you – it does have an impact on their impression of how important an issue is. Below is a list of MPs or links to their name, addresses and links to sample letters to help you write a letter of protest.
Or you can express your discontent with the way that our community has been treated by the NSW Government by signing our on-line petition calling for a stop to the current proposal with a view to considering all options openly.
