Lobby a Lib
Mar 10 2010, 9:19The mandatory Internet filtering legislation will only become law if it is passed by both Houses of Parliament; that is, it must be passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. It will almost certainly pass in the House of Representatives, where the Labor Party has a clear majority. However, to pass in the Senate, where the Labor Party doesn’t have a majority, it will need the support of the Coalition (the Liberal Party and the National Party). Therefore, possibly our best chance to stop the filter from ever becoming law, is to convince the Liberal Party to vote against it in the Senate.
To achieve this, we need your help. We need you to Lobby a Lib.
You can Lobby a Lib and help us persuade the Liberal Party to oppose the Government’s mandatory Internet filter by taking these four steps:
1. Visiting a Liberal Member of Parliament or Senator;
2. Writing to the Liberal Party Senators in your State;
3. Calling or emailing as many different Liberal Party Members of Parliament or Senators as you can;
4. Letting us know what your Liberal Member of Parliament or Senator says.We explain in more detail how to a Libby a Lib with each of these four steps on this dedicated page.
If you want other practical things you can do to stop the filter, visit our Take Action page.
