Tooting this “how to”, because IT MATTERS. The patent erosion of democratic institutions is a constant reminder of the need to MAINTAIN our democracy (indeed, improve it — but that requires more active participation)

“Parliamentary committees offer a powerful avenue for action: all of us can and should submit to groups like the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (JSCEM).

Get working groups together to assess and work on what submissions you want to make is key. This is democracy in action. Here is the process.

Visit aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees, select "Inquiries Accepting Submissions," and choose relevant inquiries (e.g. electoral reform).

Submit online via the e-submission form, email the committee secretariat, or post.

Keep submissions concise, relevant to the inquiry’s terms, and include facts or recommendations.

Submissions are typically published (with personal details redacted) and protected by parliamentary privilege, shaping legislation through official reports.

Check deadlines and consider state parliaments for local issues via their websites.”

The time when we could ‘trust’ our politicians because they represented a political party with a stated ‘platform’ and some level of ethical politics (institutional conservatism) is long gone. Self-interests above public interests is blatantly demonstrated by some political figures in Parliament and in the electorate… it’s time to say: “Not Good ENOUGH!” polies, do better!
