Alrighty people, it’s time to come together and collaborate. And listen. And debate.
Jenny Leong has put out a call to arms because today is the day that a live debate about those terrible pesky lockout laws, as part of the maaaaaassive inquiry that’s happening rn.
The debate is around the main petition thats existed against the lockout laws, which gained over 10,000 signatures. And you can be a part of it!
So, it’s today at 4pm (but Parliamentary schedule can change at any time), at Parliament House in Sydney.
If you RSVP via Jenny Leong’s website, to attend with the Greens, they can notify you of last-minute time changes.
So, here’s the schedule for the afternoon:
4:00pm: Arrive at Parliament and go through security at public entrance.4:15pm: People to be seated in chamber.4:30pm: Debate starts.5:00pm: Gather for a post-debate photo at the top of Martin Place.
(A big group is expected, so the Greens are allowing plenty of time for everyone to get through security and get seated.)
Now, you guys. We know that you want to scream your cause from the rooftops, wave your signs and show your support for the cause by wearing your ‘Keep Sydney Open’ t-shirts, but don’t on this particular occasion – signs and campaign t-shirts aren’t allowed in Parliament.
If you wanna go, head to Jenny Leong’s website and RSVP ASAP: jennyleong.org/sydney_lockouts_petition_in_parliament
To get you in the spirit, watch the bloody excellent footage we got at the Keep Sydney Open rally last year:
