This weeks exercise was to participate in politics via the internet.


E-PETITION


The e-petition I signed up to was to petition against the sale of public assets which said it was going to be sent to Anna Bligh.







LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES




The member for my local electorate is Alex Douglas, member for Gaven.






The Queensland Permier is Anna Bligh. She is on Master Chef ;)




The Prime Minister is Kevin Rudd.


The Federal member for Gold Coast is Ronald Boswell.


THE LAST TIME MY MEMBER SPOKE IN PARLIAMENT


The time Alex Douglas spoke in parliament was on Septmeber 17, 2009. He spoke about the Personal Properties Securities (Commonwealth Power) Bill. The Bill was about enabling the commonwealth parliament to enfoce national laws for the regulation of personal propery securities and to establish and maintian a national register for all personal property security intersests. Alex Douglas supported this Bill.


WHAT IS BARACK OBAMA UP TO TODAY?



Today Barack Obama is on the David Letterman show! David Letterman didn't sleep with all his co-workers... wait or maybe he did?


"I was actually black before the election" - Barack Obama








CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT


In ways of contacting Alex Douglas I found his website and sent him an email stating the following about his speech:

Dear Mr Douglas,

As a student at Griffith University and also a resident of your electorate I would like to say I do agree with your support your speech of the Personal Property Securities (Commonwealth Power) Bill. I believe you adressed the issues of differing state legistations and I do agree with a blanket bill that clearly states the legistation equalling this out between the states.

Kind Regards,

Clachere Beard

I also found by perusing his site that he also has a twitter and facebook account.

"THE CLEAN FEED"

Once typing "clean feed australia" into google the top sites seem to be anti clean feed.

So is the clean feed?

The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access.

Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.

On this site I also found the blog for the anti clean feed, so enjoy!
