AUSTRALIANS URGED TO SEND MESSAGES TO GOVERNMENT OVER TIBET, INDIGENOUS HEALTH AND BUDGET PRIORITIES
The grass-roots movement GetUp has online petitions that enable concerned citizens to call on the Australian Government to act on a range of issues.
One petition calls on Prime Minister Rudd to urge the Chinese Government to respect the human rights of Tibetans; to allow international monitors and journalists access to Tibetan areas; and to engage in direct negotiations with the Dalai Lama for genuine and meaningful Tibetan autonomy.
A second petition asks for an increase the annual Indigenous health funding by $460 million to enable equal access to health services in order to Close the Gap; and the third petition enables you to suggest your own priorities in regard to government spending on issues related to climate change.
