Rectifying Regional, Rural and Remote Neglect

Except for those  in popular coastal areas, Regional, Rural and Remote area Australians are currently very much neglected by governments compared to capital city Aussies. That despite the equal importance of each and every Australian, their contribution to our culture and our economy.

Cause

The neglect is caused by distance from parliament and silence from the regions. One local MP cannot have any significant impact in a parliament of 100 or 200 MPs half of whom dislike the other half.

We often forget to speak as VOTERS. It is in our role as voters that we have power to influence parliament and through it government services.

What do you need?

What is bugging you? What do you or your community need from government? Why do you need it?

If you let us know, we can help you put your request before every Member of Parliament in a way that will encourage them to do what you want if it is fair and sensible.

Getting results

Most of us buy what we see on the supermarket shelf that reminds us we need it. Our elected MPs, our representatives in parliament, act the same way. They attend to those matters raised by us voters. The more MPs are asked, the more voters who ask and the more reasons given, the more the parliament is likely to make government do it.

Votergrams

1 voter sending 1 Votergram got generic medicines dispensed.  1 voter sending 1 Votergram got Victims Impact Statements introduced to court cases. 20 voters had smoking banned on commercial airlines world wide. 200 voters saved the Perisher Valley NSW community ski lodges. If we don’t, as voters, ask all MPs and explain what we want then they will not even know that we want it or why.

The voter who Votergrams gets results. The silent majority is assumed to be satisfied with what they have.
