How Members of Parliament (MP’s) can take action
Every Member of Parliament has been elected to look after their constituents. More than most, Members of Parliament play a key role in creating change in the way Australia is run and to ensure we retain our democracy and sovereignty. Below are some ideas for you to consider.

Speak up

- Represent the views of people in your electorate
- Work on parliamentary committees to examine important issues
