Title
GetUp! - Action For Australia - www.getup.org.au
Description
GetUp brings together like-minded people who want to bring participation back into our democracy. GetUp.org.au members* use the latest online tools to act on the most important issues facing the country.
After nearly a decade of conservative government, our country has changed. Millions of Australians don't like the direction we've been heading. On 9 August 2005 the Coalition Government took control of the Senate. It now has more power than any government in a generation.
The other political parties aren't providing a strong opposition, and the media is dominated by a handful of right-wing voices. People need to take politics into their own hands. GetUp provides them with a way to do this. GetUp.org.au members are building a ground-up movement of Australians who want to act, not just complain.
