Political Participation via The Internet

1. Sign an e-petition:

Tobacco Display Legislation – This e-petition was concerned with removing the proposals relating to the ban on the display of tobacco in shops.

2. Respond to a professional blogger at a major news site:

I responded to Sydney Morning Heralds entertain blog. The topic was concerning Kyle Sandilands being stood down for a month without pay. I said that I think he should be off the air altogether because he is a rude and ignorant human being.

3. What is Barak Obama up to today?

The best way I could think of finding out this information was to check Obama’s twitter. He tweeted that he is in New York meeting with world leaders at the United Nations. He posted a video and said watch this speech…

4. Find out who your local, state and federal representatives are:

Local: Ms Kerry Rea MP
State: The Hon Arch Bevis MP
Federal: I don't know. I couldn't seem to find a clear answer.

5. I found the latest Hansard and Kerry Rea's name didn't seem to appear. I don't know if she didn't get a mention or I ws looking in the wrong place. So I couldn't let her know what I thought because I couldn't find her last speech.
