Australian civic advocacy tool

Your MP needs to hear
from you about Palestine

Most Australians who care deeply about Palestine never contact their representative — because they don't know how, or don't know who to call. This tool removes every barrier. Two minutes. Your words. Real political pressure.

What concerns you most?

Personal context makes letters significantly more compelling — politicians respond to constituents, not campaigns

Who would you like to contact?

💡 Tip: MPs and senators tally constituent correspondence by issue. Multiple letters from the same postcode creates a pattern that's hard to ignore. Volume matters — even a dozen constituent contacts on a single issue is logged.

Your representatives

Your personalised letter

Each letter is uniquely written for that recipient. Copy and paste directly into an email — your details are pre-filled.

Phone script

Calls are logged separately to emails and carry significant weight — staffers tally them by issue. Best time: Mon–Thu, 10am–3pm. You'll speak to a staffer, not the MP directly — that's normal and expected.

Before you send — tips for making it your own

The letter above is a starting point. A few personal edits before sending will make it significantly more effective — MPs and their staff can often tell when a letter is AI-generated, and a human touch makes a real difference.

🤝
Always be respectful
Even if you strongly disagree with your MP's position, keep the tone civil. Angry or accusatory letters are easier to dismiss. A calm, reasoned letter from a constituent is harder to ignore.
🎯
Keep it focused on one ask
Resist the urge to cover every issue. A letter with one clear, specific question forces a response. Multiple asks give the MP room to address the easy ones and sidestep the important one.
💬
Make it sound like you
Change a phrase or two so it reads naturally. If a sentence doesn't sound like something you'd say, rewrite it. Authentic voice matters — staffers read hundreds of letters and notice when one is genuine.
📍
Ground it in your life
Add one specific detail about why this matters to you personally — your profession, a family connection, your community, something you witnessed. Specific details are memorable. Generic concern is not.
📏
Shorter is usually better
If you can say it in two paragraphs, don't use four. MPs and their staff are busy. A concise, well-structured letter that gets to the point is read in full. Long letters often get skimmed.
✉️
Ask for a written reply
Always end by asking for a response in writing. This creates a record, signals you're serious, and means the office has to engage with your question rather than file it. Follow up after a month if you don't hear back.
📞
Call as well as write
Calls are logged separately to emails and carry significant weight. A one-minute call to the electorate office to say you've sent a letter and care about this issue doubles the impact. Use the phone script above.
🔁
Don't send the same letter twice
If you write again in future, reference your previous letter and what (if anything) you heard back. Repeated constituent contact on the same issue is tracked and signals sustained public concern — not just a one-off moment.

Remember: you are a voter in their electorate. That makes your voice more important to them than any campaign or petition. A genuine, personal letter from a constituent carries more weight than thousands of form emails. The effort you put in reflects the seriousness with which you want to be taken.
