AUSTRALIANS URGED TO SEND MESSAGES TO GOVERNMENT OVER TIBET, INDIGENOUS HEALTH AND BUDGET PRIORITIES
One petition calls on Prime Minister Rudd to urge the Chinese Government to respect the human rights of Tibetans; to allow international monitors and journalists access to Tibetan areas; and to engage in direct negotiations with the Dalai Lama for genuine and meaningful Tibetan autonomy.
A second petition asks for an increase the annual Indigenous health funding by $460 million to enable equal access to health services in order to Close the Gap; and the third petition enables you to suggest your own priorities in regard to government spending on issues related to climate change.
