"Thanks for taking action to stop the corporate government takeover. Now let's amplify our impact and call Minister Robb before the meeting this weekend!
Call Trade Minister Robb's Canberra Office: (02) 6277 7420
or call his electorate office: (03) 9557 4644
Here's some tips on what to say: •I've just sent an email to Minister Robb about the TPP negotiations because I am deeply concerned. I'd like to leave a message and request a response to my email. •I'm concerned that the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is being negotiated in secret, without public consultation, which undermines the very democratic principles that we all cherish. •Foreign corporations should not be able to sue the Australian government in secretive offshore tribunals for introducing progressive laws, just to protect their profit. •I don’t want big pharmaceutical companies to be given more powers in Australia, and I don’t want the availability of affordable generic medicines to be reduced. •I don’t want Australia’s copyright laws to be re-written in a way that would restrict internet freedom, restrict access to information, and stifle innovation. If you reach voicemail, leave a message.
The Minister's staff will be keeping track of the number of calls they receive. If we can flood his office with calls they'll report the extent of community outrage straight to him, amplifying our impact dramatically."
We can sit around and complain about these tyrants forever, or we can try to change things. :)
