🧵 I’m writing to my local state and federal MPs because I’m worried about the level of covid cases in the community. I’ve made some templates, to make it easy for you to do the same.

If enough of us speak up, we will be heard. Copy and paste these into an email, or make a PDF to email (click file: make a copy).

Here’s one to expand on, using your own circumstances and concerns. bit.ly/mpletterform

Here’s one that’s good to go if you’re time poor. bit.ly/mplettergen

Bit by bit we’re removing the meagre protections that are still left in place. I’m tired of emailing the school, the hockey club, the gymnastics club and asking for masks sessions of the school production, enquiring about illness policies, trying to help find info about...

ventilation and hepa filters. I’m not an expert in these areas, and it shouldn’t be up to individuals to be pushing for a safer community for us all. The number of cases in the community mean many at-risk people are either doing things they feel unsafe doing so they can stay...

in touch with work and friends, or isolating themselves which is neither equitable nor fair.

We have lots of systems for the sake of health and safety - food hygiene, road rules, passive smoking. We now must do the same to live with covid.

We can do better. Our leaders can do better. @AlboMP @DanielAndrewsMP
