Hey Australian friends, please sign this petition, I'd hate to loose my legal identity because of some bigots.
Edit: if you want the exact link it is: https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/
It is a petition by Equality Australia, writing or calling your MPs directly is also totally fine and encouraged!
@thisismissem @aussocialadmin signed and called my local member :)
@thisismissem Signed and boosted and sent to my children to sign
I don't know why, but for some reason the Equality Aust site can't even seem bothered including links to anything useful/significant (y'know, like the bill content, or any background info) so people can be informed rather than just sign something blindly. I tend to like to know what I'm agreeing/disagreeing with.
So for anyone else interested, I found the background info page with a link to the bill contents here:
https://www.alisonpenfold.com.au/protectingwomenandgirls
@thisismissem @aussocialadmin There is no petition at the link provided. There is a letter asking people to sign a petition. It is full of links to the same site, all of which have extremely long, opaque URI parameters. As does the link in your toot.
Where is the actual petition and how does one sign it?
@kauer @thisismissem @aussocialadmin First link in the page, takes you to https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/
@futzle @thisismissem @aussocialadmin The first link in the page ("defanged") is to
track.equalityaustralia.org.au/r?t=abtnnjq6dnrrztonzuaba2qvfq2kfbtnnq3xw6qraidt34otafido36saoefvlk4isofjcqu5l2ppzsqjmqlymencnqka2zino4fbnldgtpwwothukkmrnqmwrkvryaofrdacz32ukagtxzb4bssv5vcocgxplhvr33bezbr
You can see why it might cause hesitation...
Also, the petition itself has this below the input fields: "By supporting this campaign you give permission for Equality Australia to contact you." That should be a checkbox, defaulting to unchecked.
So the petition gets one less signature while I go write my own letter.
@kauer mate you could just support this person being recognised as a person and unsubscribe for anything else that gets sent. yeah the lack of an opt in is not great, but it's a fuck tonne better than (legally) not existing @futzle @thisismissem @aussocialadmin
@thisismissem @aussocialadmin Not an Aussie. But boosting for REACH!
