Stop the MADness!!
Time is of the essence!! Here’s another way to let your Independent and Greens Senators know that voting for the MAD Bill is political suicide!
Here’s another way to let the Independent and Greens Senators know that voting for the MAD Bill is political suicide, and that at some point in the foreseeable future, they will no longer be politicians with parliamentary privilege if they vote for it.
Also, that the provisions in the MAD Bill will apply to them and will silence any thoughts they have that might be contrary to the Government narrative of the day.
Download the Stop the MADness PDF and print it. Maybe get a group together and get a bulk amount printed and split the cost.
Steps:
1. Decide how many Senators you want to send a card to. We suggest the 6 Independents as a minimum. Even though some have said they will vote against it, this campaign is to ensure that public pressure to do so, is on them right up to the time the vote is taken. Let’s ensure that however tempting a last minute backroom deal might look, the fallout isn’t worth it.
2. Address the Envelopes. If you are buying, specifically C6 are the optimal size.
Put the Senator’s name and their Canberra Address (it’s the same for all of them) on the front:
PO Box 6100 Senate Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600
(names and address can be found here)
3. Write ‘card only’ at the top (Christmas Cards can be posted for 65 cents).
4. Put a return address on the reverse.
5. Print out the PDF as many times as you need to fill all the envelopes you just addressed.
6. Fold the A4 printed page so it becomes an A6 card.
7. Put one in each envelope you just addressed.
8. Go to the Post Office and buy some stamps for Christmas Cards. Affix one to the front of each envelope. Put them in the nearest Post Box.
9. Share this to 3 other people and ask them to do what you just did.
We don’t know when the vote will be taken, so please take some time now to get your cards in the mail. Let’s get ten's of thousands hitting their offices early next week.
PS: Remember to share this with 3 other people and ask them to do what you just did.
You can also:
Take part in the Silent Selfie campaign;
- Choose the words that best describe why you object to the MAD Bill, and write them on card or paper so they can be read when you photograph yourself
- Take a selfie with your mouth taped/covered, and holding your card/paper in front of you
- Post on social media and tag all independent Senators. Post to as many platforms as possible.
- Use hashtags #MADmustgo and #electionissue25
Let's give it everything we've got. We recently saw in the US what is possible when people come together and stand strong for what they believe in.
